Referee at a Tug o’ War

While I’m packing for my next Scottish adventure, here’s another photo of kilted me. This one was taken during the Highland games at Hoeilaart (I’m the guy on the right, obviously).

Unlike Highland games in Scotland and the rest of the world, in most Highland games in Belgium the contestants are competing in teams, or ‘clans’ as they like to call them… Here, the Tug o’ War is not a separate competition, but rather one of the most important events of the Highland Games.

Kilted guy at Craigmillar Castle

The next photo – the one I’m using as my profile picture here on Tumblr – was taken during my first visit to Scotland, to Edinburgh. I didn’t wear my kilt as consistently as I do now when I visit Scotland, but I did wear it on the day I went hunting for a nice kilt jacket – successfully, as you can see. On the same day I visited nearby Craigmillar Castle, the perfect setting for some photos.
