Kilted Kiwi's in Dunedin ( Jacobites )

[Graham]

What a fine and jolly bunch of characters!

You are right in saying that Dunedin is a very Scottish place, one that the celts of the New World found a home. We are hoping to go there next year for a Scottish Country Dancing gathering.

Great to hear of a full time kilted brother there, if we get there I would love to meet him.

Hi Graham

Yes it is , His name is Micheal O'Brien and he works out of the historic area of Oamaru not far from Dunedin. So if you're going to Dunedin you must spend a day or two in Oamaru at least ,as a lot of great things have happened in Oamaru over the years as the historic area is full of Victorian period shops & warehouses. Many of my friends including Micheal work out of this area. Micheal is the chap in the photos wearing the bright tartan jacket & maybe it's the Otago or Dunedin tartan I think ) Here is a link showing some Oamaru photo's http://home.xtra.co.nz/hosts/oamaru/...cPrecinct.html

Also I think you mentioned that you are a signwriter , so am I although now I teach English here in Japan , but I used to go to Tassie quite a lot as I used to build & race penny farthings at Evandale
