It was great! The room was probably 90%+ prince charlies and I had several people ask me about the doublet because they thought it looked so nice, and was refreshingly NOT a PC. Again my sincere thanks, as I fear I would have been woefully out of place, there being no locations near me that have PCs for hire.
I crashed the night at my mom's house and used her place to change before hand. She insisted on taking a picture.
I met up with a friend Tim Little and his wife Carrie there.
After the welcome, an address from Chief George Macmillan of Macmillan and Knap, and a reciting of much of Burns' poetry, they were ready for the parade of the haggis. Seen here is the duty piper, scotch bearer and the toastmaker getting ready.
The parade of the haggis, the piper leading the way and the chef carrying the haggis. This was a large plump fellow, and must have taken several hardy Scotsmen to down. Those large haggis can be quite fearsome, especially if cornered.

Later after food and drinks there was dancing to live music provided by the band Faire Prospect
This was finally rounded out by everyone gathering hands and closing out the night with Auld Lang Syne.
