This gentleman, I believe his name was Scot, was spotted by Alan H. Alan walked up to him and remarked "That's a Matt Newsome kilt isn't it?"
Alan offered the hospitality of the MacNaughton tent and introduced this good fellow to the assembled Rabble.





Many of the Nor Cal Kilties looked forward to seeing Albannach who put on a good show. The Wicked Tinkers and Albannach shared the same stage which would have made this spot ground zero for Celtic Tribal Music at the Highland Games. Aaron Shaw summed it up "Albannach, The Wicked Tinkers, a nearby beer booth, shade, and a lunch break. You don't need to go anywhere else!"

Jacqui, Donnie, and Kyle of Albannach



Jacqui's a' capella solo (somewhere East, Mike1's heart is going all a flutter )



More to come? Silly question!

After the games on Saturday a number of us all went out to a lovely dinner at the elegant Cafe Esin.







Sinbad and wee Xena were a tad tuckered out





Enough pictures? No way! There was more fun to be had on Sunday...

Another morning another set with the Wicked Tinkers. Keith Jones has taken to doing a cover version of the old rock and roll song "I want Candy" somehow the WT version is a little bit different. He sings it "I want Whisky" (Pour1Malt's theme song? ) Anyway I got to share a wee dram from my flask with all the all the Tinkers mid set. My 15 year old Dalwhinnie met with approval. Sadly I have no pictures of that.



Meanwhile more dancing from Sinbad and Xena



With ice cream afterwards



Here is one for our Canadian friends, The Toronto Scottish Regiment Pipes and Drums.



They were pretty impressive! We watched from a shady vantage point



A few more to come!

I'm just trying to figure out how you managed to get Jacquie into that much sun!!! And no sunglasses, either?

She's a sweetie, through and through.

Wow those are some great pictures...(so far.. ) What tartan is the guy next to Alan wearing? I definitely like how the box pleats turned out on that one.

Anderson I believe. Correct me if I am wrong. I think Anderson in a box pleat is fantastic. I might have to get me one of those!
