Yeah, I know there's always the Tartan Ferret and the Scottish Register of Tartans, but it seems more real when it's on a piece of paper at the Highland games. I'm sure it would seem even more real if it were woven and made into a kilt....
Nice shot of the Clan MacInnes tent in the background! Can't quite see me as I was sitting in the back of the tent in the shade. Too bad I didn't yet know about this forum or I could have met several of y'all. Ah well, maybe next year. BTW, I did notice a huge omission in your report. It was HOT!!!! But, great pics all around! Thanks for the thread.
