My wife and I just returned from Banff in Alberta, Canada. Kilt count was five, three in Calgary, two in Banff. We were driving to our hotel from the airport, (we spent the first night in Calgary,) when we spotted three members of a pipe band speaking to a police officer on the sidewalk. I didn't recognize the tartan, but as they all were wearing the same tartan, matching shirts and glengarrys it was obvious they were in a pipe band. Then in Banff, while visiting the Banff Springs Hotel, I noticed that the concierge(s) were wearing a bit of tartan trim on their vests. It was the maple leaf tartan. The bellman wears a kilt of the same maple leaf tartan, (but someone should tell him how to wear it.) There is also a piper who plays several times a week in the courtyard of the hotel. I met and spoke with him. A very nice gentleman named Hugh who on that occasion at least, was wearing a kilt in the MacDougal tartan. All in all a very nice trip.
where are the pics...?!
