Photos from Tartan Day with Campbeltown Connection..

Postby Kintyre Forum News » Thu Apr 10, 2008 10:53 pm

Received the following photos from Lorne Cousin of Campbeltown which shows Lorne and New York Giants American Footballer Lawrence Tynes in the First Minister's party to lead the Tartan Day Parade on 6th Avenue in New York on 5th April 2008.

Lawrence, who lived in Campbeltown, was the Grand Marshall of the parade and Lorne, who played on the Madonna World Tour, was invited to paradewith First Minister Alex Salmond by the Scottish Government.

It isn't often you get the Grand Marshall to have a Campbeltown connection but to have two is impressive. Lorne said "It was a great honour to be asked to be in the parade to represent Kintyre and Scotland and also the charity The Prince's Trust for which I am an Ambassador."

Lawrence recently became the first Scot to win the Superbowl. More on other threads at

Great photo's!!!

I had the pleasure of see Lorne perform during his tour with Madonna when the show came to Slane Castle near Dublin. I was right at the front beside the stage infront of 80,000 people!!!
