Clash of the Tartans

It has been said that the third time is the charm, but I think I took a shine to the kilt the first time I wore one. The whole outfit sounds like it ought to be ridiculous, but don’t mock it until you try it. It’s amazing how smart you can look in full Highland Dress.

I’ve now worn three different tartans, these being:

Gunn (Wilson)


Blackwatch


MacKenzie


This latest was worn for the wedding of Debbie and Chris, who tied the knot last weekend in a modern day interpretation of the Auld Alliance. Chris’s family and friends flew up from France, making for a wonderful mix of French and Scottish (complete with bilingual best man speech). A brilliant experience.

And speaking of weddings, a huge congratulations to Kevin and Kathleen who were married this past weekend. Here’s hoping everything went smoothly on the day, and that striking Parks Canada workers don’t affect the honeymoon camping plans out East!
