My SWIMPAL was over visiting mom the other day and when she got home, she handed me a bag and said "Here, this is from Lynn(cousin), he thought you might want it."
She hadn't even looked in the bag and when I finally did, I was thrilled to find

8+ yards of real 30" Homespun Fraser hunting tartan.
Way back in the mid 1960's our local band of Fraser's commissioned a run of this heavy material through Campbell's House of Highland Tweed in Beauly. My uncle stashed this hunk away in a cedar chest way back then.
There are several 40 year old tanks from this same batch still around, one of which belongs to me.
Looks like I finally have a winter plaid!
