First of all

Thanks to everyone for all the compliments!

This picture was taken at an event called simply "The Gathering" which claimed it had no official SCA affiliation, but largely consisted of SCA folk.

I swear I have NEVER in my life seen so many BAD kilts! There was one fellow who thought it a good idea to wear a flannel bedsheet wrapped around himself like a sarong!
Thank goodness for my 4.5 yds of double width wool!

My group's official designation is The Jacobean Guard, but has referred to itself as "The Clan" up until recently.
As a group we attend various SCA events, Highland games and other Reenactor gatherings.
I'm also hoping to get my friends to attend a rendezvous in force so we can open ourselves up to another circle to actually shoot our muskets and pistols!

We all have a clear dedication to uphold an increasing level of historical authenticity. We strive to be the best dressed, equipped and "squared away" group of all the events we attend.

One of our main goals is to educate people. It may be about the '45 rebellions, historical authenticity, traditional highland customs or just to help a bloke get his plaide pleated and belted up properly.

Our group is organized with an elected Chief, Chieftain, secretary treasurer and quartermaster.
We host an annual Burns supper, we hold regular meetings and have a "weekly" leather craft night.

Nearly every one of our members is a talented craftsperson, be it with leather, knitting, sewing, wood, metalwork etc. We make most of our own kit, and do a lot of trading of goods, services and raw materials amongst ourselves in order to obtain the gear we need.

We are currently the only group in the Northwest who does '45 reenacting

I can vouch for this group! A great bunch of guys, dedicated to an accurate portrayal. In addition to `45 Jacobites, they represent Oglethorpe's Highland settlers in Georgia, and have fun fighting Spanish "invaders" from Florida...!

I've actually met and talked with them a NUMBER of times (they were the ones at Taste of Scotland in Franklin. They are on my "short-list" to get in touch with.
Thanks for the link.

Iain, thanks for the pointer. Has anyone seen Clann nan con?

Golly, they sure have their work cut out for them: to "portray the Scottish Highlanders of the 1730's & 1740's, an era of great turmoil, both in Scotland & the colony of Georgia."

Not only do they have to defeat the English, but also to keep the Spanish from invading Georgia.
