Saw a bunch of wedding groups in kilts, and ran into several individual and small group street pipers who were appropriately kilted. Three of us at our meeting formal dinner were kilted and either in PCs or Argylls.

    Can't count the number of times I was stopped by a tourist and asked for directions. Wife says I got a lot of looks from both locals and tourists---some stranger than others. Got a lot of compliments too, though from locals and shopkeepers and waitresses, etc...

    Thanks. We were in your area ten days ago or so for the Strathmore Highland games at Glamis Castle just outside Forfar. Neat event. Wondering if we might have passed each other there that day. Drove out through Forfar en route to Aberdeen and Huntley---seemed like a lovely town.
