The poem 'Address To a Haggis' is recited

and the haggis is then toasted with a glass of whisky.

The evening ends with a  rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne'



Kevin said: "There is one downside to being in LA - it's hard to find good haggis. When I went back to see my mum and dad at Christmas, I loaded my suitcases with enough haggis to keep all my guests happy." source

The passion for Kevin McKidd number remains the theater, but the actor who provides the face to Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey's Anatomy states that, nowadays, "Television is the best stage" for those dedicated to his profession.  The Scottish actor (born in Elgin in 1973) interprets this doctor with red hair and very introverted character and unconventional in the sixth season of the series issued in Spain by Fox and a few weeks also Cuatro. The new plots of the plot concerning the merger of the Seattle Grace and Mercy West.

Thanks to these tensions between the two teams and the usual personality conflicts between players according to the Scottish actor the series has returned to its former splendor "Unlike other series like this, the characters of Grey's Anatomy are very well written by writers and are the most important medical event of the week, "says the actor joined the cast last season playing a veteran trauma surgeon from the war in Iraq. He loves the character of Owen Hunt "because it is direct, honest and not at all ambitious, plus the challenge of playing a character from the troubled past that will use the therapy while continuing his conflictual relationship with Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh).

Since he put aside his studies in Engineering in Edinburgh to concentrate on acting, McKidd has participated in numerous theater productions, television series and films. Feature films as Trainspotting, in which he played Tommy, Hannibal Lecter - The origins of evil and Made of Honor (which provides next to the star of Grey's Anatomy  Patrick Dempsey  ) alongside a career of fifteen years, but with television that McKidd is is established as a star. "The television allows you to spend more time on a character and build better", so to judge his work including the small screen is the role of the Legionnaire Lucius Vorenus in Rome.

For three years he lived in the States with his wife and two children, at the moment is on the set with Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman, and coming out in U.S. Bunraku, where she shared the scene with Demi Moore, Josh Hartnett and Woody Harrelson, Catwalk and thrillers.

A career than the inverse of great actors, especially actresses who were forced to seek refuge in an exclusive TV deals in the absence of film: "Unfortunately in cinema you must be 21 years if you're a woman. . The actors, instead, get the best parts once they get older. "

...Well, at least it's the moment we've been waiting for anyway: the revised Gallery is now OPEN to the public. We still have a few more photos coming to us soon and screenshots of other movies that will be added over time, but this is a vast majority available to the public now.  We'll also be working to make some of the smaller pixel photos larger and similar in size to some of the screen and publicity shots. Alas, that may come after the holidays!

We're housing it offsite in a venue that is easy, fun, allows for fan comments of individual photos, and allows us to change settings quickly as needed, by creating password-access galleries for mature audiences, changing backgrounds and other technical dynamics and so on and so forth. Right now, though, it's all-access-all-the-time. We're excited to finally have one place for all photos; if you enjoy it as much as we do, feel free to let us know at the site!  

We also added the new trailer to Made of Honor  (it's only a teaser really since Kevin, oddly enough, doesn't actually get speaking time) and should have an older, but interesting, Scotland Magazine article (about Kevin's early family life) up before the latest "Journeyman" episode airs this week. By the way, if you aren't watching "Journeyman" and you have an opportunity to do so, well, we just don't know what to think of you.  We may be a little biased because of Kevin, but it also really is THAT good.  We love this show so don't forget to watch!

Now for even more non-subliminal plugs, we're continuing to receive fan submissions for Kevin's Christmas care package via various methods. If you want to take part in the project but have a different method in mind than those listed, run it by us and we'll do what we can to help. We understand the 1 month deadline is strict, especially for people relying on mailing options outside the U.S. (and there are MANY of you, which is fantastic), but we also needed to take care of things before everyone disperses for Christmas. Remember that you can write to the William Morris Agency address (see the fan forum for details) at any time while Kevin is in the States as well. 

Finally, we want to issue a warm welcome and introduction to Leanne, our new moderator of the Kevin McKidd Online message board and chatroom, which is linked in the Fan Forum area of this site.  A long-time fan of Kevin's, she is graciously volunteering her computer background and expertise (while also being full-time mom to a 2 year old; we're in awe).  Like so many fans, she also resides outside the States, which lends creedance to how important it is to us that we make this site beneficial for Kevin fans and friends around the globe. She has already made some helpful changes and will be instrumental in helping us so that we continue to update news, photos, and multimedia in a timely manner.  The message board will also become an integral part of fan fun activities in 2008; those that register their name and email address through the board will be the first to know of any global contest or official Kevin McKidd Online fan interactive in future (completely spam-free, occasional emails when warranted, of course; we don't like spam either).

Whew, it's been a productive vacation. Now where's that turkey....

Just received press about Made of Honor, in which Kevin plays opposite a lovelorn Patrick Dempsey trying to steal his fiance's attentions, having a May release date in the US. This also means it shouldn't be too long before we start seeing Kevin back on the big screen, with movie trailers possibly hitting cinemas around the new year. You'll not only see both men in kilts (below; is it just me or does Patrick's look more like a miniskirt?), but enjoy the fine Scottish brogue, as scenes with Patrick and Kevin were filmed in and around Scotland earlier in the year.  Interior chapel scenes were filmed in Tring, Hertfordshire--you can expect lavish wedding frippery like kilts for the men and great hats for the women.  Also be on lookout for the little McKidds to make their debut as extras in this film (see the Hollywood.com article in the News section for more).

Sidenote: Sydney Pollack also appears in the role of Patrick Dempsey's father; considering he's admittedly feisty about the roles he chooses, we can expect either a very strong supporting cast or great script (and perhaps both). We're big fans of Sydney's as well. Rent Tootsie or Changing Lanes; you'll see what we mean.
