Thanks for all the great photos everyone! It looks like it was a really nice day and a games enjoyed in good company.

I absolutely love Scotus' crommach! The striking simple curved horn and the knobbled shaft really make it look like some cherished heirloom made by some old crofter in the winter evening hours by the fireside.

Pith helmet!

We are going to have to have a thread soon "X Markers Show us your Pith Helmets!"



Cheers

Jamie

[Scotus]

It was great to meet so many X-Markers all at one event! A nice bunch of guys!

As Todd pointed out, there were two of us in the same tartan, Cumming Hunting. Mine is a 16 oz., 8 yarder made by Lochcarron, but ordered through Matt Newsome's shop. Beloitpiper's kilt is the one worn by his pipe band.

Mine was also 8 yard, 16 oz., but was made by J. Higgins. Great supplier, pipe bands' best friend.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. You cut a dashing look in the pith helmet.

[McMurdo]

Great photos Greg, I agree that gent in the third photo of part 2 does have a great sense of style and you look good as well.

[McFarkus]

Glen and Greg, thanks for posting the pics. It was a lot of fun hanging out with you guys. Rob, did your friend Haj end up ordering a kilt?
