The Flight of the Saltire

**Downunder Kilt** · 8th July 10, 01:44 AM

I have also been wondering what has happened to the wee airship. I would open up the forum everyday and be enthralled with it's adventures with Riverkilt. So if it's out there, hurry up with some more photographic gems, pleaseeeee.

If it wishes to fly up to the north coast, we're having our big Highland Games at the start of September, and autumn is always a wonderful time for sightseeing around here, with the plethora of sugar maples.

My humble apologies, between work, allergies and a nasty cold I've not gotten out and done much. However, things improved over the weekend and I do have pics to edit and post. Just need to put it all together and it will happen between now and the 17th. Then there will be more.

I had a short time to show the wee airship around. Livingston did most, but let her go around with me some. I showed her Viking women:

I took her to see some Roman warriors:

I took her to see some supernatural folk even!

And of course... What trip to Colorado would have been complete without a visit to the Renaissance Scots Living History Society village?

Livingston should, I hope, be posting more pictures soon!

(This was originally posted in the Photo Gallery section because I totally forgot about this thread!)

Oh, and the little airship missed this little bit of hilarity... This guy is Danny, who is probably the best swordsman I have ever met!

I'm waiting for him or one of his family to discover that I took this...

Thankyou Nighthawk for the photos of the new adventures of our little friend
I have been getting the Saltire DT's due to his absence from our forum

Keep up the good work and thanks again

I hope to take her to the Colorado Renaissance Festival in 2 weeks, as well. I think she would have fun there. I've contacted her current custodian about that and am waiting to hear back.

And the funny thing about this latest adventure is that the Roman reenactor holding up the plate armor spoke only broken English- he was a native Italian speaker. He was really confused by what was going on with the Saltire... I felt a little bad because I couldn't quite get it through to him! Ah well... Made for a killer picture set anyways!

Between an issue with a memory card and then getting pics converted to JPG so that others can see them, I've been a little slow. My humble appologies. I got several convereted last night and should have the rest finished tonight with posting tomorrow night (fingers crossed)

Well, I was going to take her to the Renaissance Festival this weekend, but no one (meaning Livingston!) got back with me on that. Maybe she can spend a little more time with the Renaissance Scots at the Colorado Scottish Festival and Highland Games. We are hosting the 10th Anniversary Masters World Championships in Scottish athletics, the first time it’s ever been held in Denver, so that will be something special for the wee airship to see. Just a thought...

Oh... and Livingston... are you ever going to post pictures?

***EDIT*** There seems to be some confusion over this post. I do not have the Saltire. Livingston does. Just to make that clear!

Aha! I didn't know who had it...should've checked here first, I suppose. Is she headed your way for the weekend? I'm going "various scenic places at altitude, kilted, overnight, with bagpipes" this weekend and through Tuesday, if the Saltire would like to catch a ride and isn't otherwise spoken for!
