    Cool BC Highland Games 2007

    It was another glorious day to celebrate all things Scot and celtic. The weather co-operated beautifully. The odd bit of cloud rolled in and out offering some much welcomed shade.

    The music was grand, the beer was cold and the company was without peer. So, without further ado, the pics.

    I first met up with the honourable Colin and Son.



    Then, I happened across the master weaver himself, Gordon K. who wisely noted it was opening time at the beer garden.



    And then a moment of contemplation..........



    Raphael made the trip from the big city with his friend, Stuart.



    The Brew Brothers



    I found my clan!



    A wonderful day and a great warm-up to Canada Day. See the second thread for band pics.

    Those lightweight "fishing" shirts like Gordon is wearing sure do go well with kilts. I had a bunch already for summer wear and it was a treat to find out the colors they come in do go well with the tartans.
