A few kilts in Perth

[McClef]

Those who are in the UK or know how to change their IPs to fool the BBC might like to watch Nicholas Crane covering the town of Perth and its bid to regain city status.

There are some kilts (pipe band mainly) early on around the 9 minute mark and there is a street shot which has a kilt maker sign in the top right hand corner - someone might know who this is.

The whole programme is fascinating with some wonderful aerial shots and historical information.

One thing that saddens me is that there is a plot to demolish the City Hall which is apparently no longer used, to create a an open space. I have some happy memories of it back in the 1970s and it has a beautiful frontage, in my view this would be a criminal act of vandalism.

That kilt maker is the one just down the street from the Concert Hall somewhere I spend a lot of time with party conferences and it is Janet Eagleton (MBE) and Son at 36 George Street.

There is several other kilt makers in Perth one being Strathearn Kiltmakers on North Methven Street which may be of interest to X-Marks Black Watch Tartan wearers as this is just across the Road from Balck Watch Gardens...you are after all in the Black Watch Territory :-)
