highland kylinn


this is kylinn in her dress which granny sue made at the 156th annual highland games. it is in the anderson family tartan. by next year she should be old enough to wear a kilt and maybe play a few of the traditional scottish games.

August 27-28 there are going to be Highland Games at the Michigan Ren Fest.

Would you guys be interested in going?

Did you know that haggis (or haggii, as should be the correct plural) are actually Scottish animals, predators of duck-billed platypus? Check out this site:

I didn't know that until my brother brought a haggis mating whistle as a souvenir from his trip to Scotland!

Did you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

Wait, it isn't? Lemme see ...

Oh Rupert, you got me you sly devil.
