Lots of opportunities to wear my kilt this summer. Here are some of the more acceptable pictures

Chris carries his woman off to annoy the police with some shameful behaviour in front of a police car

Highland games. We try to have Chris arrested at the bar for "being annoyingly tall and handsome in public"

Attachment 12612
I remonstrate with the police for not using the pepper spray or taser on him as I requested.

Attachment 12613
They showed him some restraint techniques instead (can't show those pictures).

Attachment 12610
Trevor carries off a random Canadian girl from the games. His wife loved this pic on fb. (wasn't me, honest)
Attachment 12614
James really enjoying his day after Trevor got him a canadian at the games.
Attachment 12615
Stag do in Oban, Jools and Ronnie decide they can both fit inside my jacket. They were right.

Attachment 12624
Just watched the Ozzies weeping after the Lions whipped them. 1 pm


Attachment 12622
Off to Luss on the bus with lots of singing

Attachment 12617
After 10 shots and winning the last man standing tournament, I was having difficulty finding my sporran.

Attachment 12618
Ah, look at Brendan's new kilt. Wait a minute, what's going on behind him?

Attachment 12619
Shortly before my "Big Musical Number"

Attachment 12620
"Last Man Standing" competition

Attachment 12621
James spent all day trying to chat up 2 girls from Canada so Chris eventually distracted them by "planking"

Attachment 12623
Trevor can be a bit of a handful after a couple of shandies.

Attachment 12616
A rare sunny morning in Oban and some fresh-faced youth hostellers.

Shenanigans. I'll say! You guys/gals really know how to party. I've never seen an XMTS photo montage with so much beer and so many port-a-potties. Looks like out takes from the National Lampoon's Animal Highland Games. :wink:

Love that full mask, ... er full face sporran.

I think that some of these shenanigans could be easily elevated to Rumpus or even Brouhaha level and there seems to be a Kerfuffle in one of the pictures.

Seriously though, what are all these events?

We need a caption for each one - Please!

Can't wait for the Worlds. Looks like worlds of fun.

As requested :D

Still looking into the match thing for you Tulloch. Some stuff still to be scheduled. Lots of us going to the worlds.

Thanks, Fitz - it makes all the difference. What a wonderful kilting year you have had so far.

I did wonder about the planking!

Wonderful pictures Fitz; looks like you and your friends had a lot of fun and kilted too.

Nile

Great photos, looks like you had a blast.

Wonderful photos! It appears a cracking good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I want to party with you guys!

Reminds me of some of the post-games going-on's in the beer garden over on this side of the pond!
:beer: :hide: :laff:

p.s. ~ great set of photo's, I loved them!

A few more...

Superb set of snaps. Cheers!

Nice pics! What's with the blue vinyl gloves? Do we want to know? :lol:

Kilt jacket, balmoral, tattersall shirt, and tie?! Man, you are looking sharp! And some of your buddies are looking very traditional, too. You guys certainly know how to put on the Ritz, when you want to. Were you heading any place in particular? If so, I suspect it wasn't a rugby match. :)

Thanks for the new pics.

Thanks for the lovely comments all. We were off to the Luss Highland games beside Loch Lomond. We had just fit in a few hours in the pub in the morning watching the British Lions Rugby game first so so we were in rather good spirits when we arrived.

The blue glove is at the Balloch games and I was helping my girlfriend run her cake stall. I had sliced my hand open in an accident so I had to wear a single blue glove for safety and the result was Michael Jackson style gyrating for the rest of the day :)

Off to a wedding today with lots of kilts expected, so I'll get some new pics started soon.

New pics as promised. Lots of tartans here.

The correct rugby terminology for this is: "A fly-half"

Fantastic photos, mate! Thanks for sharing. Everyone looks very well turned out.

Cheers,

I like weddings. :D Excellent!

Tulloch visited recently with his lovely daughter who was playing in The Catamount Pipe Band at the Worlds. Lovely people. And Tulloch was ok too. :wink:

Here are some snaps of the Man himself and the Worlds.

Some more snaps of my mate Bruce's recent wedding. Thought this was a good opportunity to add to the daywear/evening wear debate and show the same kilt being accessorised differently. These pics are: same wedding, same kilt, but daywear for the ceremony and formal black-tie (or wine in my case) for the reception.

Daywear first:

You guys, and gals, sure know how to have a good time. That kind of revelry is priceless. Maybe someday Scotty could beam me to Glasgow for one of your shindigs. :)

You would of course, be very welcome. :D

This is an excellent thread. Photographs of guys having a good old time in kilts. This includes chatting up Canadian girls. I heartily approve!
