I’ve had these items for about 6mths but only now have I been able to sort out picture uploading.
When I walked into my local op-shop the ladies were very excited to show me ... “a new kilt for you luv”
10seconds later the card was tapping the machine and it was mine!
I got home and found it sort of fits me but unless the current ‘Beast from the East’ hits Australia I doubt I’ll get much wear from it... it’s heavy!
The historical aspects have me excited however my usual research skills appeared to have failed me on this one.
So ..... what have I got? Is it Military? Tartan? (Although I think is Black Watch)
