Historic Fredericksburg, VA Independence Day Tour

[Mael Coluim]

With having Friday off from my day job for Independence Day, I thought I would take advantage of it with a visit a few of the Colonial era sites in historic Fredericksburg. First on my list was Washington Square where the statue General Hugh Mercer is. Mercer was not only an American patriot but a Scottish one, being on the field of Culloden as surgeon to Bonnier Prince Charlie.


It was fitting to wear my new USA Kilt casual in the Caledonia tartan. This tartan dates back before the 1800s.
