Now into May and we really have'nt had a decent Spring, my next important kilt date will be on 24th of this month at Levengrove Park in Dumbarton for the Scottish Pipe Band Championships.
This is aways a great day out, especially if the sun shines, Levengrove Park is a brilliant setting with the River Clyde on one side, and the River Leven on the other with the majestic Dumbarton Castle dominating the park and providing a tremendous backcloth to the event.

The last 2 years, the weather has not been too clement but nevertheless, it was still enjoyable. When the sun shines on Levengrove during this championship, you have a picture of what is truly Scottish and unashamedly I admit that it is right out of what you would see on the front of a shortbread tin.
This is an image that could sell Scotland worldwide and really I cant think of many venues where you are so proud of being Scottish or having Scottish roots.
