A better setting for the Murray of Atholl

[creagdhubh]

I suppose it depends how you define a "private army", but I think the Atholl Highlanders claim to be the only private army in Europe.

We were at the parade on Saturday and as usual they put on a fine show.In fact, it was rather sharp. Sadly the Duke was not there this year and their long serving CO had also died earlier in the week, but I think His Grace is leading his men when they parade for the Queen at the Braemar Games later on in the year.

Quite right Jock, wish I could've been at Blair this year! I especially enjoy the tug o' war competition...amongst other activities scheduled throughout the day!

Slainte,

Slainte,

We were only there for the parade on Saturday, so we did no see any of the "hi-jinks" of the Sunday.
