First off

from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

To get started on any of the accessories you'll want, take a look through the DIY forum

Many members have tackled Sporrans sgian dubh's and alike, you might also want to search for an "xkilt" if you haver any skill with a sewing machine.

If you are skilled with your hands, by all means make your own sporrans, but there are often cheap presentable sporrans available on e-bay.

Click the buy button and type in Sporran and you should see a long list of sporrans. Sellers of brand new budget sporrans on e-bay include thescottishshop; scottishheritage-net and fredonline.
