While my wife had our camera, I had in my sporran my handy-dandy new Droid smartphone that I just got. So of course I had to take my new toy for a test drive.

Here are some pics I took (and uploaded right from my new phone - ain't technology great!)

Many of the store fronts downtown were decorated for the festival. My favorite were the museum's next door neighbors, Outdoor 76 (an outdoor outfitters). They went wild with the blue and white window paint:


As I was towards the front of the parade with the museum's BoD, I got a chance to see the rest of the parade after we reached the end. Here are some of the clans marching -- if you look you can see fellow X Marker "Santa Wally" representing Clan Wallace.


Some of the wee Highland dancers and just behind them the reenactment group that was doing black powder demos during the festival.


I ran into Mr. Carter who I believe is on X Marks, though I don't know his user name (perhaps he'll chime in). It's always nice to see someone who shares a flare for tattersal shirts with the kilt! I had to compliment him on his dress. (Nice choice of claret hose with the MacArthur tartan kilt, as well).
