    Alas, we can't see this in the USA! The BBC player doesn't work here.

    Thanks for these links Trefor! I must admit watching them was bitter-sweet (a mixture of pride and homesickness) and made me feel very sentimental for my dear old homeland

    I like the kilt Douglas MacLean. Likin the green more over the red every time I see it on someone.

    He is shown in more than one but I think you are probably referring to the Balmoral Tartan, one of the few restricted tartans around. One must be a member of the Royal Family or wearing it with permission.

    Don't get me wrong...there is much I admire about the UK (look at those unifroms!). But a colony is just a question away from being a colon. If that were the case, then the horrible thing others call me might also be true.

    Great shots of the Royal Company of Archers, the Queen's Bodyguard whilst in Scotland. Several Macphersons, to
    include my Chief, Sir William Alan Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie, are members of this unique ceremonial unit. Recently, Cluny's second son, and next in line to be Chief of the Clan Macpherson by tanistry, James Brodie Macpherson, was elected into the Archers.




    Cheers,
