In honor of Burns Night by randystreat

In honor of Burns Night

I pulled out my mother's kilt and a Scottish-themed brooch.
Hi partner! Looking back through your get-pushed challenges I found so many that have really caught my eye. I found myself saying, "I remember that one ... and that one ... Oh! and that one!"
Your challenge this week is to pick one subject to shoot, and capture it in different angles, distances, colors, or light. You might present it as a diptych, triptych, or even a series. If you would prefer a different challenge, just let me know and I'll set another.

I am just now finiding out about Burns Night! This is a marvelous picture for it and how wonderful to have the props from your other for the photo!

Nice ornaments. Great catch
January 25th, 2021  
Lovely. I have a kilt made for me when I was a child of the same tartan.

@aecasey This will be fine. Thank you.

@tunia Thank you Tunia.
@grammyn I didn't realize it was today. Yes, I kept the kilt after mom died. I had intended to get a friend of mine to take it to a Scottish games to see if someone wanted it. It doesn't fit me. But that didn't happen. Sometimes it's good to have "stuff."
@yolanda Thank you Yolanda.
@wakelys I guess it's a Black Watch tartan, isn't it? Thank you.

Looks very nice.
( You`re right . Often the house is separeted from the barn but not in this one. )

Very nice- I love heritage pieces and wish I had something official made out of the Hamilton Tartan. It's a nice keepsake.

A lovely capture

Nicely done
January 26th, 2021  
Wow!! How cool!
January 26th, 2021  
I have a similar brooch, no stones, but my tartan is quite different.
January 26th, 2021  
I didn’t know you had Scottish roots ! A very nice brooch !
January 26th, 2021  
Ah, well done Kathy! A very Scottish two-some there.
January 26th, 2021  
Very nice. ...I shall have to learn about Burns Night now!
January 26th, 2021  
@randystreat yes it is. I grew up with the knowledge that it was from the Campbell and Mackay clan, my mother’s ancestors.
January 26th, 2021  
Oh, cool. I have a kilt that looks just like that. I still have it somewhere, I'll have to dig it out for a photo.
January 26th, 2021  
And did you make some Haggis to celebrate as well?
January 26th, 2021  
I really need to look up Burns Night. Lovely to have these momentos to photograph.
January 26th, 2021  
Lovely capture
January 26th, 2021  
Beautiful ornaments. Lovely capture.

Nice composition on the Black Watch tartan, it really makes those orange stones pop out.
January 26th, 2021  
oooh! haggis night, isn't it? that brooch is quite lovely.

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry
@olivetreeann I guess I've traded tartans from McDonald Clan Ranald (my father's) to Ross (my husband's). I really don't have anything of either clan. I'm glad to have these items. Thank you Ann.
@linnypinny Thank you Lin.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@pusspup Mine, too. Officially I'm now a Ross clan member. Never did like that tartan much, though. Thanks.
@cocobella Thank you Corinne. Yes my mother's parents were Scottish immigrants and my dad's mother a Northern Irish immigrant.
@jamibann Thank you Issi.
@aikiuser Thanks Jenn.
@wakelys Thanks Susan. My research corroborates what you said.
@homeschoolmom Thanks Lisa. I'll look forward to seeing how you use it.
@farmreporter Absolutely not! I've heard it's good. I've had an opportunity once to try it and chickened out. As a rule, I don't care for most organ meats and things made with them. Thanks for commenting.
@jb030958 Thank you Jennie.
@craftymeg Thank you Margaret.
@haskar Thank you
@serendypyty They did sort of simmer in the light. Thank you. @summerfield It is haggis night but this girl did not have any. Thanks so much Vikki.

This has got so much history, I really thought I'd commented on uour lovely composition, and now see I didn't press post comment.

I like that hint of tartan, thst shows more on black.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you. I'm not really familiar with Burns night. I guess I should be given my heritage.
