    I like the last of the three.

    They are all nice photos, but the first one has a pair of shorts front and center! The middle one with the drummers, I'm afraid could give a false image of the kilt. Cropped as it is, the average viewer might not notice that these are all drummers who have shifted their sporrans around and that we are looking at the rear of the kilts. At a quick glance it could appear to be a group of men all wearing their kilts backwards!

    Grant I've spent time in both Ontario and North Carolina and I've got to say, for me anyway, the pleats go in the back no matter where I am

    I thought that was to represent the members who don't have kilts yet ...

    I thought the first one was pretty clever, on that same assumption.



    Mind you, if we're doing tenuous links, I went for a walk up a hill today in genuine Monarch of the Glen Country.

    So here's the Wee Black Dug gazing into the distance, with the backdrop of the Munro Creag Pitridh, beyond which lies, er, Loch Bogle.



    It also qualifies under the "Spring in Scotland" category of course.
    Enjoy every sandwich.
