Royal Marines/Scots Guards to perform in LONDON ON

A couple of photos from last night, Robert and I and a couple of the Highland Dancers of the Scots Guards, who we were talking to before the show. Sharp eye on one of the dancers as he asked me about my tie, I was wearing the Army Benevolent Fund tie BTW. We did see other gents wearing the kilt and I did bump into another member of my church at the interval. If you get the chance go see this show.

We have a party of at least 8 who will be attending the performance in Austin, Feb. 18th. Looking forward to an exciting evening.

Planning to be at the Austin event as well. Just bought tickets today. Really looking forward to it.

Very cool, the seldom-seen No1 Dress of The Scots Guards pipers (worn there by dancers).

The pipers maintain both a No1 Dress and a Full Dress, which unlike the pipers of other regiments has two distinct doublets.

Richard, the pipers were actually in full ceremonial dress replete with feather bonnets, only the dancers were in No 1.

For those interested (probably very few!) here's the Scots Guards pipers No1 Dress doublet. Note the utterly plain Inverness skirts. This doublet is worn with the Glengarry.

Here's the Full Dress doublet. It's worn with the Full Dress Headdress (as they call the Feather Bonnet)
