Anything like this ever happen to you?

I was taught years ago, by my grandfather that there is a responsibility that goes along with wearing the kilt. A code of conduct, honor, and dignity that speaks for all the kilt represents. Don't take it lightly. Apparently, this guy needs the same lesson. Oh, and one in history too.

Do me a favor and explain this to the clever bastards who had a "men in kilts best legs" contest at Chciago Celtic Fest. Somebody asked me if I was going to enter the contest and I gave them the "stare of death" until they apologized.

However...to adress a more pleasant aspect of this unfortunate set of circumstances...please post some piccies of your reenactors' unit and yourself in uniform...I think that we'd all like to see that being the history fans that we all seem to be.

Well mannered frivolity over a few pints or a dram or two, I hold in high regard... being a viking, maybe even a little pilaging..hee hee

I'll see what I can do about the pics.

I'll second the pictures. I am always interested in seeing period dress. Re-enactment is an interest of mine, and I have seen only a handful of French and Indian war period paintings.

*actually the "paintings" were online scans or renditions. They still looked awesome thoough!

I'm sure you're familiar w/ this, but just thought I'd mention Robert Griffing's work. Wonderful renditions of F&I period Scots (Native Americans too!).

Unfortunately, you'll still have to deal w/ online scans, but here's a link:

I should mention that it was quite stirring to see GunnHighlander's unit drilling on the same grounds on which they were originally stationed & deployed (Ligonier, PA).

I feel I should also mention to GunnHighlander that I'm quite sorry he became the focus of the aforementioned idiot's commentaries. I hope you don't let one individual's lack of knowledge and decorum influence your perception of Clan Donald!

I have seen a couple scans of that artist around. One of them on Xmarks... the one titles "Warriors" I believe was used in a recent post... I actually saved that picture to my computer. Great artwork.
