At the games

Today we are in Bellabeg, attending the 173rd annual Lonach Highland Gathering and Games.
The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society was founded in 1823 by Sir Charles Forbes, 1st Baronet of Newe and Edinglassie (1773-1849). Membership is drawn from the inhabitants of Strathdon, who continue to fulfil the society’s original mission of preserving Highland dress, the Gaelic tongue, and “supporting loyal, peaceful, and manly conduct; and the promotion of social and benevolent feelings among the inhabitants of the district.”
As always, there are many kilts in evidence, but this Highland gentleman and his lady were by far the best attired. As of September 19th, it may well be de rigueur to be dressed thus!
