Kilted weekend in Edinburgh
Just back from Edinburgh where I spend a pleasant (if occasionally wet and windy) weekend. I took loads of pictures of the city but also managed to get some kilted shots (sometimes with me as the model even though I tend to shy from being at that end of a camera!  
I will post a couple at a time just to make sure I get this tehnical stuff right...
Picture 1 - Kilted Piper with his dog on Princes St
Picture 2 - Me posing with Greyfriars Bobby - I didn't realise that my belt has slipped down!
Right lets see if this works!
Yes it did!

Yes I loved it, in fact it was like meeting a loved one after 25 years and realising you are still in love. I may be a "saftie in the heid" but it was an emotional experience for me.
I have shown all the kilt-related pics, I have many more I took of the city and will post a few if people desire...

The guy was raising money for charity (leukaemia I think) so not disrespectful at all - unless you think that Scotland's heritage is an uncharitable one...
