    What a great event!

    So the Kingston Scottish Festival was a great time! The weather was a little colder than folks would have liked although there were a few sunny breaks.

    There were lots of bands to enjoy. Here are some pipers strolling by the vendors.

    There were some smartly attired judges and some very accomplished bands. The Grade 1 bands were all exceptional.

    A gentleman with a very nice camera asked me if he could take my photo so I agreed as long as he emailed me the results. I had already retreated to the van to get a pullover and gloves due to the cold. Disregard my cell phone sticking out of my jacket pocket and ruining the line of my jacket. ;) lol
