Awww, my old 'stomping grounds,' The Scottish Arms! Tons of memories there, to include my engagement to my beautiful wife!

Todd...I see Jim McLaren in one of the photos...superb gent, yet he always seems to wear the same Highland attire for daywear! Hahaha!

Jim was the first person I saw at the main gate on Saturday.

The weather was just about perfect, with just a hint of chill across the knees.

Here's a few more pics, starting with a few more of cajunscott during the clan parade.

The clan parade band

And a few more random kilt shots

This just amused me all day. They obviously didn't get the word that I live in the area

Ya, but don't forget what they say Mickey, "The camera adds 10 inches!"

I see the owner of The Scottish Arms, Ally Nisbet, also a good mate of mine, as well as the former President of the St. Louis St. Andrew Society, Chris Fulton. I also see a fellow Macpherson (not sure who it is, can't make out the face) 'peeping' out behind Todd in the 'March of the Clans.' I participated in that last year. Good times, weather looked superb in my ole' hometown!

Cheers,

Todd,

Did you meet up with Matt P. at all? Was he there adjudicating the solo-piping?

Best wishes,

Great event, and it was a pleasure meeting you all!

I forgot the same thing whilst attending the 2011 Kentucky Scottish Weekend, however, Sandy (JSFMACLJR) and I had plenty of photos take together, courtesy of my lovely wife.
