Cheap formal wear?

Farb??

BTW, I grew up in Rolla, Missouri...not far from the Ozarks.

Rolla is actually part of the Ozarks, according to my Ozarks geography professor.

Well, it's all of 50 years ago since I left...when I was 13. But I never knew that.

It was a pleasant Norman Rockwell type childhood though and I have good memories of fishing the Big Piney and picnicking at Meramac Springs. Never was at the Lake of the Ozarks though.

OK...OT and I'll quit...didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Cajunscot, Reenacting what? They could have been, but reenacting isn't really part of Scottish Walk. I felt like showing the RAF bloke my BDS-US ID and bitching him out for wearing the uniform without permission. Against the regs to wear the uniform if not on duty not have permission, especially outside the UK. I'm not that much of a w____er to do that.

Scottish walk was a place where people would get dressed in their Scottish finery and parade on the first Weekend of December, to bring this back on topic. It was becoming more of a Scottish costume party IMHO.

A unit reenacting a Scottish regiment in the French & Indian and/or Revolutionary Wars would be most appropriate for a Scottish walk in Virginia.

Before you cast too many stones, there are plenty of reenactors & living historians in the UK as well.

I know about reenactors, but the RAF person and the Jacobean were walking together. Maybe they were members of the Society for Extremely Creative Anachronism.

For those not in the know, http://www.scottishwalk.org/.

When I saw the RAF person and the Jacobean was 20 years ago before the walk had become as large as it is now. At that time, it was still pretty much an informal event. Now, it has become an event that features Scottish military regiments, highlanders, school bands, citizen groups and associations, Scottish clan societies, floats filled with Campagna Center volunteers and children, the Lord Provost of Dundee (Alexandria's Scottish sister city), and local and regional political leaders, who ride in vintage cars loaned by antique car club members.

Much more elaborate than the event I was describing.

Now I see where you're coming from.

Reenactors I could handle. I can also spot them.
