A day at church
MacWage and I met up at a Kirkin' at the church his parents attend. Here are a couple of pix.
There were two gentlemen dressed in the re-enactors uniform of the 78th Fraser
Highlanders. Here's one of them.
and one of me and John in our Sunday-go-to-meetin' outfits. It was a good way to inaugurate my black braemar jacket from J. Higgins.
It was a very nice service, and the folks were friendly and welcoming. I was drafted into service to carry a banner. We were looking for another X-markre or two, but it was just us.

Those are always nice ceremonies, but the pictures say it all.

Well even if was only the two of you, X Marks the Scott was very well represented by such dashing gentlemen. I have had never had the pleasure of attending a "Kirk' of the Tartan" , but imagine it was a great experience.
Cheers to you gents for your good showing!
Cheers

A sharp look by all.
Bet that Fraser coat cost a pretty penny. Good to see my "cousins" honored.

It's one from Turpin. I "picked it up" that day.
Note:
It takes a bit getting used to, as the closure is quite different than the Buzz Kidders I have been generally using. Also, he adds in extra pockets on the inside, so there is LOTS of neat little things.
Right after church, my family (my parents, bother, sister, aunt, grandmother & the usual wife and kids) and I ate lunch, them my wife, kids, and I drove home (several hours).
DON'T fiddle with the sporran driving at speed up I-85! Fortunately, the fam didn't notice anything.
It was interesting. My wife said she got unexpectantly emotional at the bringing in of the tartans.
It was a good service.

I've never been to one of those services, but they do look fun! There's some fine looking sporrans there!
