I'm afraid my grasp of the Gaelic is miniscule at best. From what I do understand, I believe you're telling me you're a piper as well. If so, well met. I haven't been at it long myself. Just a bit over 5 years worth of lessons so far, and just over 4 years on the pipes. Only play ceol beag so far, but I'm getting ready to step up to Piobreachd shortly.
Stopped in the "hang" a couple more pictures. First one is my son and oldest grandson. Last year I was lucky enough to have them accompany me to the Culloden reenactment at Crown Point NY. My son is one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, so his mode of attire is usually quite different, and Uncle Sam doesn't often let him out to play. Having them along made the event doubly enjoyable for me. As an aside, I gave the oldest grandson a Sportkilt I had in the closet, and he really took a liking to it. His folks darn near had to wrestle him out of it
This next picture is one of my favorites. My youngest grandson and I playing a "duet" at a local Rendezvous. I know he's not kilted in this photo (but we have since made him a kilt), but I think its' a great shot all the same.

I love this reenactment stuff!
It's difficult to tell from the picture, but is that a Northwest trade musket the younger one of your boys is holding?
I shoot an old .45 Kentucky rifle with an original Brown Bess lock, I also made my horns, bags and other accoutrements to go with it.
Your pictures make these historical events look like so much fun!
You got me thinking........
With my newly arrived USA Kilt and one of those 18th century style "puffy" sleeved shirts I think I might be able to put together a *barely* passable beginner's outfit to wear to one of those events.
