Bet you looked great Andy! :D

Thanks guys. :D It was a great day as I said, now I have to go into the real world which is proving a pain just now, especially trying to find a flat in Aberdeen

Paddyscar - The sporran or whats under the sporran? :P

AnneM - That is the McDonald Dress. Dress tartans are mainly bright whereas the day tartans and hunting tartans are more duller in colour. The only thing that worries me is if anything is spilt on it.
