    Kiltwalk, Edinburgh

    I just found out about a thing called Kiltwalk that's taking place in Edinburgh on the 22nd of August. It's a kilted walk (obviously) to raise money for homeless people.
    I can't make it but I'm sure some of you guys can!

    more info:
    www.kiltwalk.org

    P.S. Clanadonia are going to perform. I'm very disappointed that I cant make it
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Sure wish I could be there. How long has this been going on? Great to see kilts making a difference!

    Going back to the old thread that McMurdo mentioned:

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/e...x.html?t=40399

    One of those in the pictures is my darling wife!

    We did the Kiltwalk with our youngest. A good cause indeed.

    It's really annoying me that I cant go... I'm doing my best to rid of my prior plans.

    I've taken part in the Edinburgh Kilt Walk the past three years but I won't be going this year as I am planning on being in Canada on the date of the walk.

    I'm off to Florida a few days after it so I didnt plan on going through to Edinburgh that weekend as I normally do. I then put myself down for overtime at work

    Well, Paul, at least now you know about the event, and can plan for next year.

    Maybe you'll even have more kilts by then to choose from for the walk!
