Great photos! I've noticed more and more lately, the wearing of huge, full-mask sporrans...when did they get so big? Too big in my opinion. I suppose I am more accustomed to the smaller, more bespoke (i.e. - Kate Macpherson's v-gusset/military style) look - as in full-mask sporrans that are made of otter, (Scottish) badger, pine marten, scottish wildcat, mink, muskrat, some (red/silver) fox, and polecat pelts. Some of these chaps I've seen over the years (and a few can be seen in the photos above) at various Scottish related events or functions, look like they are wearing a 'basketball' size, ball of animal fur in front of their kilt! Just an observation.

Slainte,

cdarwin, Thanks for excellent photos of Clan Henderson. History of "The Walkabout": Our Cheif of the Name and Arms of Henderson resides in Australia, thus the tradition of walkabout. Special Thanks to Loch Norman Pipe Band who regularly pipe us around the field at many games in the Southeast. Without their support it would not be as inspiring. At GFMHG there were 14 band members, Pipe Major, and 34 Hendersons and friends, all proud to be Scot. Thanks again.
