The CADPAT Freedom Kilt which I bought from Riverkilt's recent sale of kilts which no longer fitted him arrived here today. This kilt fits me perfectly and within half an hour or so of its arrival I was out in it to post a parcel at the post office.

I then headed a couple of miles down river to Hornshole Bridge for the first photo shoot.

And downstream



The Hornshole Monument commemorates the Battle of Hornshole, 1514. This was the skirmish in which the Hawick callants captured the standard of Hexham Priory.

But I wanted some kilt photos. There is a path which closely follows the course of the river from Hawick downstream to Denholm village, which crosses the road here, so up onto the path for a couple of shots, one in sun and one in the shade of the trees.

Then home for lunch and took Ann out to the Johnnie Armstrong gallery in the afternoon. Photos to follow shortly.
