[Closed] Scottish. In America. With Guns!!!

Ok - here it goes again. I'm "too popular" for photobucket; I hog too much bandwidth 8). So up theirs; I'll try Flickr (but it doesn't work quite the same). So my earlier attempt was a fail. 😕

Fortunately, they didn't have musket balls! 😀 But they did have their bagpipes! 😡

I spent the afternoon at the 250th Anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Bushy Run [url= http://bushyrunbattlefield.com/ ]Website[/url] near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The battle took place when a British column (Highlanders, Royal Americans, and American Rangers) sent with supplies to relieve Ft. Pitt (modern day Pittsburgh) were ambushed by American Indians from various tribes. On the second day of the battle, the British feigned a retreat, the Indians advanced, then the British attacked the exposed Indian flank winning the battle. Some photos (titles below)

New monument (hard to photograph late in the day as the sun was behind it)

Nice, i used to do Wars of the Roses but i have an interest in the Colonial Wars period.

No wonder the American Indians lost, it's a little one sided. Anway great pics looks a cracking day out 🙂 The memorial looks like the cover of a movie 😯 .

Looks like a great day out... some of those kilts look a wee bit short... like, mid thigh !

When confronted by an army of drag queens with guns I'd have running away top of my list.

Why are their kilts so short?!?

They're not kilts - they're little tartan skirts.

You mean the Devils in Skirts ?
