    Have you tried the on line Scottish goods catalogues? And don't forget to check out our sponsers here on the site.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

    I have looked through several of our sponsors. In fact, I would prefer to do business with one of them.

    I will check more online. Thanks!

    PV Shawl in MacNaughton would be out the door within 24 hours.

    I'd suggest either Burnett's and Struth

    or the Scottish Tartan Museum

    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/shawls.html

    I have frequented both shops several times and never been disappointed with either.

    Rocky, my wife is concerned about the "touch" of the material. Would a PV be scratchy like wool, or would it have a softer more delicate feel?

    She wants to wear it to the Burns Supper. Since her dress will have an open back and shoulders, it will be used to keep her warm.

    McMurdo, THANKS! I was looking at both those too...my only constraint right now it time. Our Burns Supper is in 2 weeks, and those look like 6-8 week delivery times.

    Sorry about that, you could always talk to them and see if they might have something in stock. Otherwise I would go with Rocky's option as it will get there in time.

    It's not scratchy in the least. It's beautiful fabric. If she's sensitive to wool, then this would be a brilliant choice.

    [ ETA silk would also be brill, of course. ]
