Thanks so much--great pictures! Sounds like you had fun despite the dearth of kilties! Regards...
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
My wife, youngest son and I were one of a number of folks wearing Fraser kilts (only my wife in those photos, though) all three different colours and shades! I thought it peculiar on the day too!
As far as I was aware there wasn't a Fraser mini-gathering, just mere coincidence!
