Celebrating the Repeal of the Act Prescribing the Wearing of Highland Dress

[Mael Coluim]

Yesterday, to celebrate the 227th anniversary of the Repeal of the Act Prescribing the Wearing of Highland Dress, I wore my new USA Kilt casual kilt in the Caledonia tartan. I was a big hit with the members of the community I manage. As they not only got to see the beautiful tartan but to hear a wee bit of history.

A fellow member of the House of Gordon was quite pleased to be photographed with me.

Later in the afternoon, a new friend a Scotsman and a piper came by and after a adjusting my hose and sporran was also pleased to be photographed with me.

In the evening I went to the Fredericksburg Pub to have a few celebrating pints. This Bell Haven Scottish Ale was for Sir William. For Kerr the Walker I downed a Dogfish IPA. The kilted serving staff was once again very appreciative of their kilted patron.

Aww-haww! Guid man, yersel! Very nice finishing touch as well!

And, I greatly appreciate the pint! The way things were going yesterday, I'd have gotten to the pub just in time to turn around and head back home - it was that kind of day.

I wore a tartan tie to work, then had a pint and a bit after dinner.

Looking forward to the next excuse to visit the Fredericksburg Pub.
