Speaking of which.....

You looked very well turned out in your Harris tweed Braemar jacket.

His instructions to me when I designed that one were basically to create a tartan that had a pattern similar to MacDonald of Keppoch (his clan), but with colors similar to the Balmoral. :-)

Hello HeathBar, I enjoyed this post, great pictures from your self
and Matt. Glad you all had a great time.

During the games I took the opportunity to meet and talk with the Irish author "Alister John McReynolds"

He writes on the History of Scots Irish in America. I bought one of his books and have not been able to put it down. It is called "Legacy" and I recommend it highly.

Candid shot of Lamar Britt (maker of our fine Ferguson Britt sporrans), and Ryan Ross, hardy museum volunteer and fellow X Marker. Ryan had just acquired a new Ferguson Britt sporran and no doubt is discussing the finer details of it here with Lamar. (I really need to update the FB sporran page, he's really doing some nice new stuff I need to showcase).

You had to catch me with the collar up! Heh... I think this may have been one of the moments between sporran talk... Lamar was likely laughing at a relay of Ronan's heroin addict crack.

Bwahahaha...

Just a few pics of setup, (and rain!), as well as a few from Saturday and Sunday as well.

Not the best pic, but I do love the kilt!!

Must admit it doesn't hurt my feelings any to see familiar faces at the Clan MacMillan tent, with yet another trophy in hand at the Stone Mt. Games (!) Thanks for the pics!

Great photos all, looks like an enjoyable if wet weekend, just a few observations and comments.

Mike
If you are worried about the MacKinnons not being there you could volunteer to do the games, Catherine and I can't be everywhere. Here is the Clan Society website that Catherine and I designed.

Matt
Great pictures and report, I really love the tweed kilt Brian Wilton is wearing. Just a heads up Catherine and I are thinking about coming down at the end of the month. I have to go do the passport thing tomorrow, I've got the photo ready. I'll most likely start a new thread about it though.
