Appears to me there is really only one name that most of us are interested in, hers! LOL!

Nice picture. Thanks. Who are the X Markers? And, their monikers? Yes, including the lady with the million-dollar smile. How heavy is that chainmail?

I think she said it weighed 27 lbs. We are from left to right, Boarder Reiver, Tulloch, Bluescelt and Spartan Tartan.

The museum is a treasure. Bluescelt and I remember going there decades ago as kids. I went in 5th grade - Ms. Wisneski's class from Woodstock Elementary School. I never forgot it. I have returned three times - twice in the last two years to see the program on the Celts. The woman who does the lecture / demonstration is nice, articulate and friendly. The museum, sadly, will close because of lack of a sufficient endowment. The collection is being transferred to the Worcester Art Museum after December 31st of this year.

I will be traveling in some days to Glasgow and its environs. This was another opportunity to explore the qualities of my new iphone as a camera. The results are pleasing. Photos follow:

27 lbs. Wow! What a load to tote around. It must feel good when you take it off. I wish I could drop that much as quickly.

Thanks for the monikers. I should have recognized Spartan Tartan. I've seen his pictures before. You all look great in those kilted outfits. Also, thank for all the armor pics. Very impressive.
