We are not too far from this but we heard nothing about it. We will not be able to attend this year, but maybe next. Thanks for the heads-up.

What a wonderful day for the Graeme Park Celtic Heritage festival, despite the 95ºƒ temperature. For me the highlight of the day was meeting kilt maker, Bonnie Heather Green. Bonnie is truly a wonderful, gracious person as well as a talented kilt maker.

Bonnie's 'Kilt Making' display with X Marks 'Kilted Juggler' and my wife hiding from the camera.


Bonnie and me in front of her display.


Bonnie & me with my new kilt (almost done). OK, my secret 'Jonsen' is out; it's a 16 oz, wool, Lochcarron Strome, Fraser of Lovat (my clan) and I can't wait but, I will,,, because,,, all good things in their time!


OK, all that said, Bonnie had a Stewart kilt (my wife's clan) that she made for a client who ended up not taking it; well... it fit my wife, Susan, to a 'T'. So... we now have two Bonnie Heater Green kilts. (pictures will be forthcoming)

It was hot (95ºƒ) but the Graeme Park Celtic Heritage Festival was alive with music and fun. Though not a large festival, it was started 17 years ago to honor the Scottish heritage of the Keith and Graeme families. In my opinion, the dominant feature of this festival is the music. the entertainment was excellent and the pipe bands were first class. Here are a few pictures I took of the event; enjoy.



From one extreme to another; Listening to the excellent Celtic Martins.



What do you .....


My lovely wife fallen' for this guy??? I've got to take up the pipes!
