    Fredericksburg Burns Night 2010

    The Scottish Society of Fredericksburg held its 16th Annual Burns Night. Five of us XMarkers joined in the festivities. Our Burns Night had been postponed in January due to a snow storm,

    Once again, we were fortunate to start the evening off with the rousing Eagles Pipe Band of Mary Washington University.

    It was a great evening, with fine food, excellent entertainment and great comradely.

    Ambjack and his Mrs. came.


    Unfortunately, at the time of this group Xmarkers photo, Sir William and Mark Ellis had exited stage left.

    Piperdbh had sent me this summer one of his silk dandelions. I used it along with this bow of Malcolm tartan (from our Clan AGM held at Ardifuir in the Argyll) for this fabulous corsage.


    This was my first chance to wear my new Argyll hose that Panache had several us to purchase jointly from Josh at Skye Highland Outfitters. They are to die for!


    The other Rabble were snapping pix and hopefully they will share some of them too. It was great having you guys, there!

    Sorry your event had to be postponed due to weather, but it definitely looks like a wonderful time. Great looking place, too! Thanks so much for sharing photos!

    You all look great!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Handsome lads, great pictures. I'm sorry that I missed the dinner. Thanks Mael for the invitation. Sorry that I missed it!

    I'll have to console myself with memories of last year's F'burg Burns Supper here.
