England's William and Kate get Hitched!

I did not get up for the ride in the Rolls...but I did wake up and turn on the ceremony midway through.  What fun.  Kate is stunning - that dress is spec-TAC-ular - and even though William is a cutie...HARRY is one sexy beast, no?

And how can I tie this post in to Scotland somehow?  That spectacular dress was designed by the Sarah Burton, creative director of Scot Alexander McQueen - God rest his soul.  Alexander designed that memorable "Highland Rape" collection that so many people still Google to this day. 

Men in Kilts!

Thanks to Josie for sending in this AWESOME link.

I may consider moving to Vancouver or Seattle, just so I can call them!  Reminds me of a few years ago when I wanted to live in Forks!

Outlander Chat Tonight

Outlander Chat is ON tonight! 9PM Eastern!  Once again - Tracey and I are both iffy.  She is still on vacation - and I just got home a few hours ago and my life is a bit upside down at the moment.  But next week we will both be back to our usual schedules!

It's Better in Dunedin

Let me tell ya Sassenachs...one of the coolest places in the US is Dunedin, Florida. It is Scottish Heaven! The streets have names like Grant and Highland Ave...and the Scottish heritage abounds all over town. For example, if you go to a restaurant called Bon Appetit, which is on the gulf, you will hear the pianist play "Scotland the Brave" directly at sunset. Seriously. I may move here.

Scottish Highland Games 2011

I'm sorry...but would there be anything cooler than going to Highland games...IN THE HIGHLANDS?  No, no there would not. 

Let's Do "The Book Thing!"

Eh. My. Gah.  Tracey just sent this to me and said "This must go viral!"  So I watched.  And all I have to say is this:

We LOVE the Outlander Book Club.  And we LOVE this!  Kudos, Silver Thistle!!

265 Years Ago Today: The Battle of Culloden

265 years ago today, over 1,000 Scottish Clansmen and supporters of Prince Charles Stuart died in less than an hour at the battle of Culloden. What followed was years of near-genocide in the Scottish Highlands to rid the area of its language, dress and clans.
