Calling all Scots!

[J M Gryphon]

Any Scots attending the RenDezvous are invited (and will be encouraged  ) to march Saturday or Sunday with the Queens own Highlanders. We muster at 12:30 at the Scots cottage (across from the birds of prey stage). There will be some loaner blades available from the regiment (although being highland weekend I would recommend bringing a blade as they may all be taken).

Ach, a good reason to bring me new baskethilt...

If the Pink Pirate's alter ego didn't have Quizzik with him you might be able to talk him into marching, but he only has a short sword and a rapier.

[DonaCatalina]

I think properly attired ladies can march also. There is usually someone in the parking lot passing out pieces of tartan.

I might have to look after Quizzik as the Pink Pirate's alter ego wants to march but Quizzik isn't very Scottishy.

I'm a Scot....and will be kilted and gladly march in the parade.... however... I do nae have a weapon.

[Scotsman]

Do you have to march, or can I be a true Scot and stumble?

....nice.


lol


Well...the parade is after noon so it tends to be a task for a Scot to march in a straight line after that hour.


lol

Let's see.... one wheelbarrow for Scotsman... one wheelbarrow for Merlin.... hmmmm.  We might have a whole train of these... hmmm.

I've asked to be able to join the Regiment in the parade on one day this weekend so hopefully I'll be able too!

[angusmacinnes]

Sounds like an added parade of wheelbarrows.

Not sure exactly how many blades are available at the cottage (i know for sure its at least 5 or 6I do have a couple of extras that I can bring along(one is quite light but the other two are on the heavyish side).

Do you have to march, or can I be a true Scot and stumble?

We prefer that everyone marches(but safety and not stabbing patrons is more important than staying in step  ), but as it is highland weekend the regiment will be recruiting pretty much everyone that we can, so im sure as long as you can stumble in time with the drum it should be ok 

I think properly attired ladies can march also. There is usually someone in the parking lot passing out pieces of tartan.

.

the officers in the regiment have asked that we all bring extra plaid this weekend, so im sure there will be extras to pin on if you dont have any plaid to wear

,

the ladies auxiliary would be happy to have you along im sure...

Ok.... well.... if there's a spare weapon available...I'll gladly sport it.

If not....and that's a requirement of marching.... I can sit out.

I'm in the pipe and drums at our local fire department but not near good enough to snare yet.

[J M Gryphon]

I just found out via the Regiment newsgroup that they will be recruiting and inviting everyone (garbed and mundanes) to tie on a plaid strip and join with the Scots in the parade, so marchin with a weapon is optional and the invitation is open to everyone, you dont even have to have a kilt. I believe Queen Margaret is trying to get a battalion worth of Scots and honorary Scots in the parade  .  Merlin, I am planning on being at the RenDezvous get together in the parking lot so I can loan you a blade then if you like, im planning on getting there at 9ish.

This is a completely random question....
BUT here goes anyway
Does anyone have a sash of either Clan MacPhail or Clan Chattan tartan?
