    Well done, Scott! I have dealt with Darren as well (Craighorn used to be Hector Russell Canada) and found him just as efficient and attentive to customer service as you did.

    And I must say the photo of you meeting HRH Prince Edward is grand!

    Ditto. I try to drop in at Cairngorm whenever we're in Toronto. You do look nice.

    Matt,

    Kind words indeed! Although I do have to admit to a bit of a cheat on Saturday. I wore a short sleeved shirt, and at every possible opportunity I removed my jacket and unbuttoned my waistcoat so I could "air out". Clansmen David Pope and Robert Bell (President of the Appalachian Branch of Clan MacMillan) managed to spend the bulk of the day in shirt sleeves-- the lucky devils-- and told me later that the heat was only insufferable if one was wearing a jacket and tie...

    I second that! Scott shows how "it's" supposed to be done!

    You look very smart MOR, and might I say, a very fine example to set for proper kilt wear.

    Scott,

    Absolutely a splendid example of how a kilted gentleman should dress

    Well done Sir, I doff my plumed hat to your sartorial splendor

    Cheers

    Scott, I saw you at the Games, but I didn't know who you were since we've not met.

    So let me say, I was remarking at how good you looked to my wife. You were quite splendid overall, just, as you said, put together in fine highland fashion. But I was also very glad that I was not in a postiion that required the same level of dress as you since I was hot in a polo shirt.

    Believe me, one and all, if I hadn't been "working" at the Games, I'd've been in my cool and comfies like the rest of you!

    I am very sorry to have missed the group photo-- and especially sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet those XMarkers who were there on the day-- so, let me suggest that we make it a point to meet up at next year's Greenville games, and gather afterward for dinner and a cigar at the host hotel.

    Sorry to have missed the Games and so many of you, but I am glad it was unseasonably cool in Greenville.

    And you look GREAT, MoR.
