Kilted Fridays Adventures

I only buy real butter (prefer unsalted), so the margarine ban of years past wouldn't have impacted my life.

I'll be back for Skerryvore Fest of the Fox Cities in September (only band to play there every year since it moved to Appleton is the Scottish Celtic-Rock band Skerryvore)

Verry nice, just got back from Fredericksburg visiting with dad for father's day, we didn't go to Park Lane which we would normally have gone to (we were afraid that we would not get in due to the world cup).

It's not a Friday, but it is Canada Day, always a good reason to wear a kilt.

I'm also curious about how "Scot of the Year" honors are awarded.

I ask because one of my closest friends from College and Med School in New England spent his entire career post-training in Canada at UBC Vancouver, eventually renounced his American citizenship, and a few years back was made a member of The Order of Canada.

And, a few purists may note that your reply to "what do you wear under your kilt would be appreciated by some of our number, to wit: "NEVER those awful 'Ghillie Brogues;' Proper buckled footwear is the only way to go!" (But then, scrolling a bit further through your photos I see those laces climbing up your calves, so I pulled my own Ghillies out of the trash bin).
