Couple of kilt pics.

[Piper]

As one of the "new guys on the block", thought I'd hang a couple of photos up, give someone a chance to say hi (or fade away) if we ever cross paths.
First one was taken last Christmas at the Alexandria VA Scottish Christmas Walk.


The second one was taken back in May, at a reenactment event in Canada.

It all looks pretty good by my eye, Piper...

Are you sure that the Santa outfit is authentic??? ;)

I know the santa outfit is. We have a little 12" statue that looks just like him that we put on the mantle every Christmas :grin:

Looking very sharp to me!

You look born to wear a kilt, I love that jacket you're wearing (not the red one) :-D

Piper,
Looking Good! Being a piper myself, love to see more kilted pipers. Do you reenact the '45? If so, with what group?

[Brasilikilt]

Hey Piper, welcome to the forum!
Just out of curiosity, what era do you reenact?
Judging from the tents behind you and your jacket it could be anywhere from the 1700's up until the civil war.

Glad you folks enjoyed the photos. Yes, one of our pastimes is reenacting the '45. We're (my Bride and I, not the "Royal We") with Clann of the Wolf. We portray Clan Cameron at the "Road to Culloden" events. Matter of fact, we're missing an event this weekend at Olde Bedford Village, "The March on London". Aforementioned Bride just had knee surgery yesterday, so the trip had to be called off.
The jacket is an 18th century style "Highland Short Jacket". It was made for me by Missy Clark, who trades as the "Well Stayed Lady". I also have one of her 1750's waistcoats. She comprises one half (with her husband Larry) of "Barkertown Sutlers". If you're a reenactor, I can highly recommend her work.
I'll see if I can round up a couple shots of some of the grandsons in kilts at a Rendezvous.

Suas leis am piobair!

I'm afraid my grasp of the Gaelic is miniscule at best. From what I do understand, I believe you're telling me you're a piper as well. If so, well met. I haven't been at it long myself. Just a bit over 5 years worth of lessons so far, and just over 4 years on the pipes. Only play ceol beag so far, but I'm getting ready to step up to Piobreachd shortly.
Stopped in the "hang" a couple more pictures. First one is my son and oldest grandson. Last year I was lucky enough to have them accompany me to the Culloden reenactment at Crown Point NY. My son is one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, so his mode of attire is usually quite different, and Uncle Sam doesn't often let him out to play. Having them along made the event doubly enjoyable for me. As an aside, I gave the oldest grandson a Sportkilt I had in the closet, and he really took a liking to it. His folks darn near had to wrestle him out of it


This next picture is one of my favorites. My youngest grandson and I playing a "duet" at a local Rendezvous. I know he's not kilted in this photo (but we have since made him a kilt), but I think its' a great shot all the same.
