Don't you just wish you had stayed in as a Colony?

Thank you!

Don't get me wrong...there is much I admire about the UK (look at those unifroms!). But a colony is just a question away from being a colon. If that were the case, then the horrible thing others call me might also be true.

Another program which was quite interesting and includes some of their home video's

Does anyone know the tartan that Prince Charles is wearin? I like the look of the greys.

He is shown in more than one but I think you are probably referring to the Balmoral Tartan, one of the few restricted tartans around. One must be a member of the Royal Family or wearing it with permission.

Great shots of the Royal Company of Archers, the Queen's Bodyguard whilst in Scotland.

are those English longbows? Didn't the Scots use a small bow, shot from waist level?? Perhaps one of the re-enactors would know? ( and I won't start any hijack about the politics )

With respect, does it really matter? The Royal Company of Archers are simply a ceremonial unit, and yes, they do appear to use English longbows, arguably, the greatest (wooden) bow ever created.

Kind regards,

Thanks for posting that, I really enjoyed them

I stole time to watch them. Very interesting. Thanks for the links.

I just watched part one and was struck by how many outfits would not pass muster on this forum. A tartan tie with a kilt! Belts with waistcoats! They're good enough to accept honors from the queen in Scotland, but not good enough for the kilt cops at XMarks.

Not to mention, a young Prince Charles was wearing a *GASP* CHAIN with his day sporran instead of a strap!

And not a "traditional" garter tie in sight. Shocking. Just shocking.
