for Jock

Our beloved Jock Scot has had to endure numerous photos of me wearing that darn goathair sporran even with tweed Day Dress

So Jock this is for you! For once I'm wearing proper Day Dress: country check shirt, tweed waistcoat, plain sporran, shooting socks, shooting style garters.

It may never happen again

Nicely done, Richard.
Are you planning on making Bridgeport again this year?

Richard, old friend, that is a truly fine look, and totally appropriate for SoCal.

Nice look! I think I need to find some tweed waistcoats.

Richard, that's a very nice normal day sporran, but I gotta say, I much prefer the silver-cantled goathair sporran. It is to die for!

Nice look, Richard. Definitely, appropriate for Southern Calif.

Though, I must admit, that goathair sporran has grown on me.

Thanks!

I'm seriously thinking about doing something different this year, attending the Celtic Fest in Bethlehem PA in late September.

Well, OCR, I can tell you not to expect anything much in the way of a clan gathering. I was there at the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem last September 2013 in conjunction with my genealogical review in Doylestown. There were all of five such tents, huddled up near the athletics, which were excellently exhibited. The "scotch-tasting" advertised was Irish whisky, and I don't recall a pipe band. But, I still very much enjoyed the Celtic Classic (think 'Irish')

Thanks for the info. It's hard to know what to do from all the way here on the wrong coast.

Seeing pipe band competition is my main interest, and from what I can see online it looks like the largest competition within striking distance are the 'Colonial' or Fair Hill Highland Games, on May 17.

I'm making my plans to attend those.

Thanks! Richard
