Great pics. Interesting to see the Irish and American Flags up front but no Saltire... What was the flag with a blue field? A state or county flag?

No that flag is the state flag of South Carolina. (The one carried by the Honor Guard.) As it turns out an honored guest was an Irish Consular. He has supported the Festival from its inception. He was present and honored with Highland Games Trophy being named after him. That’s my guess why there was no Saltire with the Honor Guard. But there were plenty of them around elsewhere!

The local law enforcement of Cayce has their tartan and provided the Honor Guard

If by that you mean they've purchased Sport Kilts in the "Law Enforcement" tartan. The front apron is a dead giveaway for a Sport Kilt.



Very nice pics, though. Looks like the weather was gorgeous!

Great pics Ern. Just think what a magnet you'd be kilted in a Triumph.

No, Kenneth, I meant what I said. But as you have shown either I didn't hear the announcer correctly or he misspoke.

BTW, My local Sheriff's Office does have their own registered tartan for their kilted Honor Guard.
