I just got back. Met Canawler and his wife. The music was great, The Hunting Mcleods, Enter the Haggis and a third that I will have to look up their name. The grounds were muddy after two days of rain, but they were putting straw down in the bad spots.

It is a small venue and some of the vendors did not make it because of the rain. When I was leaving it was noted that the crowd was growing and everyone seemed to enjoy them selves.

Third musical group was Rant & Roar.
We just got back too... quite the mudfest, eh?

Sorry I missed you Acstoon and Cacunn. Click here to see my pix of my day.

Thank you - were you wearing a black tee shirt with answers to "The Question" on the back?

LOL... no.
I was wearing a rather disheveled Hunting Stewart great kilt, natural linen shirt, hand-knitted tam, and tons of mud on my knee-high mocs.

(thought just occurred to me... I no longer shave my head, as in my avatar... my hair is now just about shoulder length)

I've seen you around quite a bit, your great kilt always looks great. I was wearing a blackwatch (who wasn't) with a red wagon and two kids in tow.

My pictures are here.

Wish I had checked here before going. Would've been nice to meet up with some X-Markers. I had have a dandelion in my hat, but my son quickly decided I didn't need it.

Sorry we missed you. Sooner or later we'll meet up at one of these events.
I also met Mael Coluim after Cacunn left.

We had a good time despite the mud, even though this festival is a little on the small side. I certainly enjoy the musical acts more when you can be up close without being crowded. It's also nice to be able to talk to the bands when they are hanging around with literally nothing to do.

For those who have never seen Hunting McLeod and like rock music, I highly recommend them. Most of the crowd had never seen them before but they seemed to draw bigger crowds than Enter the Haggis.

Here's a few pics of our boots after cleaning off the really big chunks: (and yes their was almost this much mud on my legs)
