my first trip to Stone Mountain was a marvelous weekend, southern hospitality is wonderful. The first evening was the whisky tasting event sponsored by Glenfiddich. A fun evening of learning how to drink scotch ...like we need help LOL



I think this person was asking for seconds


five different scotches provided in fine crystal plastics cups
Glenfiddich 12, 15 & 18 and Balvannie 12 & 17




Luckey (Jim Rappin) following instructions from the lecturer on how to nose the whisky

Saturday was again a fine day when the FREE Glenfiddich showed up at the clan tents


Scott Turner (SouthernScot) smiling as he accepts the gift with Jim Lovelace (Cawdorian) looking on with anticipation

Not long after the FREE whisky showed up the X Markers showed up... go figure






Cavscout offering some advise


it was great seeing all the Atlanta crowd of X Markers

A fine display of tartans




a demonstration of the fine art of the great kilt folding


the Lamont tent






a new Lamont Kiltie


what great fun for a boy (or a man for that fact), wearing a kilt and getting a new sword

Stone Mountain was a lovely setting in the woods at the base of this stone monolith, I will definately come back again





a fine display of birds of prey was on hand
