Ceilidh in Edinburgh

[caig]

Yes, the ceilidh was in aid of the lesbian and gay switchboard charity. The band was dreadful, but he dancing was good.

Wonderful pics. Acaig is that a tweed kilt? Trefor is his usual exceptionally dressed. McMurdo I had to check but that is not the sporran I modeled in Fergus. But yes he does make nice sporrans and matching sporran straps I see.

My pink and black sporran was made by Robert of RKilts, in Canada. He made it with remarkable speed and is utterly outrageous !

Now that sporran would go great with Panache's pink kilt!

What is a "lesbian and gay switchboard charity?"

[Ozman1944]

G&L switchboard is composed of voluntary workers who counsel callers, etc. like a "Hotline". They often assist Gays & Lesbians with housing, Legal & Medical referrals, employment, health issues , suicide prevention - you name it.
These kinds of fund raisers are often held to take care of expenses in maintaining the services.

Ah. You learn something new everyday.

Ron, Trefor's tie is lovely. It is known as a Ruche which I think is pronounced "roosh". They are very popular in the UK for formal events, weddings etc, in place of a black bow tie. Trefor may know more about them.

Is that what's called a cravat? I'm thinking that's the one you'd wear (in pale gray) with your morning dress for a formal wedding early in the day. http://www.thecravatcompany.co.uk/howtotie.htm
