    My birthday at Beach Celt Fest - Toronto

    So September 6th was my birthday and I spent most of it greeting visitors at the Clan Donald tent at the Beach Celtic Fest in Toronto. It was a fun day!

    After the festival, I went out to the pub for a few drinks with some friends and remained kilted. The outfit was very well received at the pub and everyone had a good time.

    I've been promised more pics so I'll post them when they arrive!
