    Anyone going?

    If anyone wants to see Hamish's kilt, I will have it with me. It's almost done!

    I might be there... it's a toss-up between Glasgow Lands and the Renaissance Festival in Sterling, NY. At this point, I think its entirely up to my wife!

    Sounds like that kilt is going to have been more different places than I have ever been before it even gets worn!

    The Hamish Centennial Kilt World Tour!

    I think that you'll have to send it to him via the Pacific route so it can cross the International Date Line at least once.

    I'm sure that someone will bring a camera to Northhampton so we'll get some pix?

    I passed through Northhampton on Friday was very sorry I couldn't be there for the Games the next day. I hope it was a grand time and hope to also see pics soonish!

    It was a great time. There were probably the best collection of bands I have seen outside of Loon Mountain and I think I saw some new ones. Really, really nice. We never got to watch the athletics because of the music being so good.

    My wife and I went from band to band watching them practice, warm up and compete. The opening ceremonies were done by grade 5 bands:


    One of the drummers had his little tyke with him:


    Here are some of the images that I like from there:










    We were honored to meet Barb Tewksbury and to see Hamish's kilt under construction:


    It was really memorable. Thanks to all who worked to put it on. Oh, yes; I met a distant cousin. Imagine that:

    I don't remember his name but we chatted a little and found that both have Tulloch ancestors.
