The second stop on our vacation was Halifax, N.S. We spent a very warm Friday at the fortress on Citadel Hill; as a former historian and military buff one of my favourite places. And since it was Friday I was indeed kilted! Here are a couple of shots of the various reenactors. Because Canada is still commemorating the War of 1812-14, the Citadel has additional pipers and drummers who paraded through the establishment just before noon.

A longstanding tradition in Halifax is the firing of the noon-day gun. No kilts on the gunners, I'm afraid.

When we arrived in the tailor shop there were uniforms that visitors to the Citadel could try on. As it so happened the top kilt in the pile was just the right size for my son; and I was mildly surprised when he tried it on. Indeed, he even rolled up his pant-legs so that it would look right. Looks pretty smart, I think.
