2013 St. Louis Scottish Games Photos

**creagdhubh** · 30th September 13, 11:31 AM

Greetings,

Here's a lovely series of photos (with the exception of the first photo, which was taken at The Scottish Arms after the games had concluded) taken over this past weekend at the 2013 St. Louis Scottish Games in beautiful, Forest Park in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. We had wonderful weather for this year's games, albeit it could have been about 10 degrees cooler (ideally speaking, naturally). The temperature was a wee bit warmer than what's typically expected for late September in that part of the world, yet there was quite a nice breeze and some areas that did provide shade. Cooler, more fall-like temps would have been much more suitable for our tweed and wool, yet we survived the sun's rays and had an absolutely brilliant day out! There's simply nothing better than good conversation, over a pint or two, with family and friends at an event of this nature. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Likewise, Teàrlach! It was such a pleasure to meet you and yours. Yes, Stephanie and I will be at the Missouri Tartan Day festivities in April, so we hope to have a much longer chat the next time around!

Best regards,

A well turned out collection of gentlemen with the occasional good looking lass for interest. Great shots!

Indeed...my gorgeous wife, Stephanie!

It's hard to tell in this photo and the series shown above, but my shirt has subtle checks of olive and scarlet. It's from House of Bruar and made by The Oxford Shirt company to Jermyn Street standards.
