Kenton's flying high, and Jazzer looks the part.

Jazzer's planning to play the bagpipes at today's Highland Games. Jim's not keen on his music suggestions though.
David's relieved that Kenton finally asked Jolene to marry him. Kenton can't believe Jolene accepted. His Mum's happy. He just hopes everyone will be. Fallon jokes with David that it's strange he will be her uncle.
Kathy's disappointed by the white elephant crockery from for former boss Toby, who has recently moved on from managing the golf club. Hungover Jamie's distracted by the vision of Jazzer appearing in his kilt, accompanied by his friend the clan chief Dougie.
Lynda inspects porridge bowls as Robert tries 'bash a rat'. Jamie gives a fine effort at tossing the caber. Eddie wins the Maide Leisg ('lazy stick' - a one-on-one tug of war) and Jim manages to dunk the vicar.
Lynda's not convinced Dougie is a genuine clan chief. After Kathy realises she knows him from a chip shop in Borchester, Lynda angrily berates Jazzer. But Jim points out that Dougie comes from a long line of Scottish ancestors, and has a strong case for founding a new clan. Lynda apologies to Jazzer but it's quickly forgotten as Lynda spots an opportunity. She'll ask Dougie to Address the Haggis at her next Burns' Night supper.
Kenton asks Fallon an important question: does she approve of him marrying Jolene? Fallon's thrilled about it, and welcomes Kenton to the family.
