And... Yet some more!
 
Lots of pets were present.
The Clan tents.
No 'Ifs', 'Ands' or 'Butts' about it, that's not where I wear my sporran! 
Junior athletics!
Practicing for individual competition.

Nile,
It was nice to meet you, and thanks for the picture. I meet several X-Marker's at the event and will try and add some of the pics that I have been collecting. The lads enjoyed themselves and had their pictures takin many times.

Thank you Rob; it was so good to meet you. Susan and I, like everyone there, had an enjoyable day. Your lads were well behaved and they seemed relaxed; the crowds didn't bother them at all. We will probably bring our little dog next year.

I hope you don't mind but, I have a few more shots of the Festival/Gathering, to post.
This is part of the crowd enjoying Bonnie Rideouts' delightful performance. What can I say... She was great!
 
There were several good pipe bands; this is the Washington Memorial Pipe Band.

Gotta love those wacky drummers! What pipe band is that with the MacFarlane hunting tartan?

Tad,
Thanks for posting more pictures. I sorry I didn't have a chance to meet you.
I have to tell you, your son looks really sharp in his kilt; he wears it well. I think it's great that in addition to involving your children an event like this, you are encouraging and inspiring your son, early in his life, to embrace his heritage. I started too late with my children but, I'm trying. My oldest daughters' husband wears one occasionally (but he was wearing them before me) but my son and youngest daughters' husband have been a little harder sell. I'm not really pushing them, I'm just politely encouraging them.

Nile, thanks for the kind words. I made my son's kilt and his sister a matching skirt, however she was hesitant to wear it. Though once we got to the festival she wished she would have. My son is all about the kilt and I'm having trouble reining him in with his desire to wear it. I don;t think we'll make it to the Frederick festival but will be attending the Scottish Games in Northern Virginia in September.

Pbutts, I don't know what band that was. There were 12 bands at this event. The College of Wooster Pipe Band, of Wooster, Ohio traveled the furthest to compete and there was a band from Pittsburgh, PA, the Carnegie Mellon University Pipe Band.
There were a lot of things competing for our attention so, we didn't see all of the bands perform. I'll try to find out which band that was from others who were there.
