    Location photos

    Blu recently requested that photos be taken of our kilts whilst we are in public places. This is usually difficult for me as I tend to be out and about on my own. However, I spent yesterday with a kilted friend, Jim, at the HQ of The Royal Horticulural Society at Wisley Gardens in Surrey. I have posted a photo of me taken there.

    There too is a photo taken at last month's Brighton Pride event which was attended by just over 100,000 people. Just guess which kilt I was wearing 8) 8) !

    McNice I am working on the same problem, So you are not alone. With me some of the pics had to be reduced to fit ( look at edit on your photo program)and these I got on.so check them out. on the other problem I have asked for Highlandtides assistance. If I get anywhere with this I'll fill you in. I really need to get up to speed with todays technology.

    I am afraid I cannot help you with loading the photos, Mcnice. I have more than enough trouble trying to get them posted in the first place!!!!

    If you want to see masses of photos taken at Brighton Pride 2004, go to:

    http://www.realbrighton.com/story/729

    and scroll down a short way. You'll find links to hundreds of images taken at the parade, in the park and at other associated events in the city.

    Great Photos Hamish! That kilt certainly makes a statement doesn't it! You wear it well. BTW, I see that the younger guys in your area are wearing those same ugly baggy cargo style shorts that they're wearing around here.

    Thanks Blu.

    Yes, you'd think it would have some impact (perhaps it had too much!). Last year, when I wore my white Utilikilt, I was asked to pose for photos over and over again but, this year, no-one asked!!!

    The cargo shorts you can see in this photo are nothing! It is the ones worn by the skateboarders (or wannabe skateboarders), with the crotch somewhere below the wearer's knees, that get at me!
