    You have to love the interior of the Lotus. It has everything you need to go fast and absolutely nothing else.

    We felt obliged to try the Hamish mk1:


    And the mk2:


    We found Gaisgeil too!


    I got some delicious haggis:


    Auld Argonian was my taster:

    And the Chicago Highland Rifle Corps were out parading:


    They were really great:


    Really made me proud!


    The Massed Bands was amazing!!!


    Unfortunately, there were some Renn Faire attendees, too:



    And some, uhhh, more uncoventional "kilts":



    It was a great games, though, and I had a lot of fun!!!
