Homecoming
This past weekend was a special time here in our small town because it’s when many wear their Tartan Plaid. Our town has Scottish roots since it was founded by Scottish settlers, and our local University proudly bears the name Edinboro, Home of the Fighting Scots. (Penn Western University at Edinboro)
It’s Homecoming, an excellent moment to celebrate school spirit! A nostalgic return to a once youthful time!

Many wear kilts!
I have never worn a kilt but this year I wore my Tartan plaid scarf and purse. The purse is new this year. One of my besties gave it to me!
We Hear Bagpipes
We take a lot of pride in the Bagpipes that play on campus and echo through town. It adds such a charming touch!
Clambake
We started the weekend at our friends’ house on Friday night with a delicious Clambake.
Parade
On Saturday morning we went to the center of town to watch a parade. There are marching bands, cheerleaders and floats! Oh, and lots of bagpipes!
Football Game
Homecoming would not be complete without a Home Game win, and that we did! The fighting Scots WON!
Tailgating at the game is always a great time!
Reminders
I also enjoy a ride on campus. This is my alma mater, and I have so many wonderful memories of it. The sweet reminders tug at my heart. This place shaped me. For a short time, when I was here, I was that young girl who once dreamed about the future, but now I’m living it. ☺️
When I went here, it was called Edinboro State College. Right after I graduated, it became Edinboro State University. Now, it has combined with two other state colleges, and it’s called Penn Western University at Edinboro. It is a beautiful campus.
Beautiful Day
Saturday was picture perfect.
Thank You Always
It was wonderful having you join us for Homecoming. We’re so grateful you came, and thank you so much for your support!

The campus is gorgeous, Nancy Lou, and my Scottish roots are smiling. Love the pics…there’s something about fall, football, homecoming on a college campus that makes me happy. Calm. Traditions do that! Xo! 🥰

What a festive spirit! I love all the tartan, the beautiful atmosphere, and the fact that it’s actually your Alma mater makes it all that more special. You look so chic with your red tartan scarf and purse and red lips! ❤️💋
Awe… thank you, Rita. How kind of you.
And yes, it is a festive weekend!
I look forward to seeing your Edinboro Tartan plaid homecoming parade photos every year, Nance! What a fantastic tradition.
I am so glad Mr. Mark! So happy you enjoy them!
It is a fantastic tradition!
This looks like such a pretty campus. And I just love all the tartan! It’s so colorful and really fun — and seeing so much of it really makes it rock! All this fun, a parade, and a clambake, too. You’ve had such an amazing time!
Nancy, I love the tartans and I love bagpipes! Such a fun homecoming weekend! The campus is beautiful.
What total fun Nancy! I love seeing all the guys in their festive plaid kilts! You are so lucky to have your family home there, and can revisit your memories of all these events as well as the current ones! Your mascot, “MacCato” is too cute! Beautiful Fall photos!

Nancy, I love that you are there to celebrate Homecoming and all of the fabulous festivities, and you know how to celebrate so well! You look smashing and your Alma Mater campus is beautiful! I always enjoy a tartan plaid! Thanks for sharing your wonderful weekend! I almost forgot, your friend’s plate looks delicious!
Happy Tuesday, my friend!
Wow, Nancy, I knew we have a lot in common, but this post is brimming with memories and nostalgia for our Scottish-themed high school in San Diego..the Helix Highlanders! I’m going to have to fly out there and hang out with you next year, what fun. Love the plaid, the kilts, the Scottish everything…my heritage! Love your red vest and bag, too. 🧱
I always love to catch up with your Fighting Scots–bagpipes, kilts, and lots of red. What a fun weekend for you! And it looks like you had great weather for the event.
Nancy, love seeing you cheering on your homeland! I’m a big fan of tartan, and it’s rich tapestry of history!
Looks like such a fun time Nancy! I’m mad for plaid so I love seeing all the tartan and kilts. The fall color around your lake is beautiful, you’re about a month ahead of us. Enjoy your week! 🍂 🧡
What an awesome community! I also grew up in a small college town. Good times. All your photos are fantastic!
Love, love this, Nancy! ❤️Thank you for sharing the fun!
What a beautiful tradition in your hometown and Alma Mater! You looked darling in your tartan plaid and I loved seeing all your pictures.
That looks like such a lovely campus! I enjoyed all these photos. Homecoming sure is fun and the town celebrates BIG. Those floats are incredible.
What a fun day and they won the football game too!
Indeed!
