Drove from Melbourne to Sydney last Friday for a wedding and drove back Sunday (1900 kms). Great weekend and the wedding party looked great in the kilts and finished the service with a piper. View attachment 651 View attachment 652
I like the bridesmaids dresses. That pale sage green is lovely. The knees were quite impressive as well, wait until Morse gets back.
Guid tae see loons in ra govirmint tartan btw! What tartans are they Gordon? Forgot to ask. Took him a while to track them down. My nephew was running the Rangers fan club in Australia.(Here we go)
Spidge, Government tartan usually means Black Watch or Argylls tartan- I think the three darker kilts are Black Watch, while the one with the yellow squares is Argylls. And feel free to correct me-the eyes play funny tricks at this time of the night!

And feel free to correct me-the eyes play funny tricks at this time of the night! No laughing please. In the movie "Braveheart" (like it or not - "historically" correct or not) the one eyed uncle of William Wallace was "Argyll" was he not? You being from Stirling, the Stirling Bridge victory would be well to the fore. His memorial atop Abbey Craig has always been inspiring and 250 steps more than one of my favourite films which was filmed on the moors:p guess which one The building of it (says my brother in law) by donations from Scottish people around the world "belies the myth that we Scots are bloody pennypinchers":wink::wink::wink::wink: My brother in law is from Anderston.
No laughing here. Can't say I paid that much attention to Braveheart! The Wallace Monument had to be built in stages, because funds kept running out! It was eventually finished in 1869-ish.

Spidge, I'm in Bannockburn, and actually live on the battlefield. Your location says Stirling......just trying to trick me! Well it's only 4 or 5 kilometres. A brisk walk before breakfast. Hope they have all the pits filled in by now.......joke:smile:

Stirling Castle is surely an awe inspiring sight. View attachment 671
