Tartan Day, Apr. 6

[Malcolm MacWilliam]

Just wanted to know what others were doing on Tartan Day. Our regiment (77th, Montgomery's) happens to be scheduled to do a "dog and pony show" (no battle reenactment, just educating the public) at Carlyle House on Apr. 6 in Alexandria....what they call Braddock Day. BUT, the day before Alexandria, VA is celebrating Tartan Day so several of us will go down early (Friday eve, and stay with Pvt. MacDonald, one of our lads who lives in fair Alexandria), so we can "take the town" in kilts on the 5th. Alexandria has some celebrations going on that day for Tartan Day....so, my lads and myself will have a grand time in town with our kilts a twitchin'!! Then, that evening we'll go to a local pub in regimentals (and kilts) and "take the pub" so to speak. I canna wait. Malcolm
