    [QUOTE=auld argonian]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.

    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.

    Pax,

    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.
