Which ones are the locals? Do they go by the color of their hair?

Aye well done indeed, it's the two with the matching hair colour that are locals.

That is the beast and the lassie in the "long" kilt, who I believe was acting as the guide.

You do know that there are Highland cattle here don't you? I found a couple on the Shenandoah and figured they had enough of the wet, foggy weather over there. They also looked very happy.

Reminds me of the way girls used to turn up to class in short kilts, I'd say "You two have one kilt between the two of you."

I taught high school in a uniformed school, so, naw, not that long ago. Those girls would only be 28 now.
