Central New England X-Markers, this may be of interest to you (I know there will be at least a couple of us there today.)

After last weekend's games at Blair Atholl, the Duke of Atholl and his Highlanders got on a plane to visit Athol, Massachusetts as part of the town's year-long 250th anniversary celebrations. The Highlanders will be performing a mini-tattoo on the uptown common (1225 Chestnut St., Athol MA 01331) at 2:00 and then heading to Town Hall for an official reception.

As one of the organizers said in response to a query about today's lousy weather, "It always rains in Scotland. The Highlanders will perform and march rain or shine," so bring your umbrellas and/or Inverness capes if you've got them!
