Brother Steve and SIL Lindsay arrived on Thursday evening from Cambridge. Last night we went to Braemar for dinner and to attend the Capercaillie concert at St. Margaret's. What a super concert, and a great version of Ae Fond Kiss, by the band's singer and founder Karen Matheson.
I took this photo on the bridge over the Clunie looking up to where dad's (former) house is. It was a beautiful evening, and it's set to be a beautiful day today for Gathering. We'll all be heading up there later this morning. Steve works as a Field Steward, and it's an annual 'pilgrimage' for him.
@christinav These are standard Scottish dress trousers for men if they don't want to go with the kilt! Steve's are McDuff tartan and hubby's are Forbes tartan (his family were the Banner carriers for that clan).
@phil_howcroft You will laugh Phil, because of course King Charles was at the Gathering. I was sitting in the Private Enclosure (not with the King but in an enclosure alongside), because dad gets tickets having been President of the Gathering for 7 years. Anyway, did my face not appear in some official photos! ;-) You have to look hard, but a friend of mine spotted my face, just over the King's right shoulder! I may post that one later in the week to raise a smile. I look like a right photobomber!
What alovely day you all shared!
I too love the men's trousers!
