Isle of Skye kilt
A few pics of the Isle of Skye kilt that is going off UPS today to a patient (well, that's a bit of an exaggeration....) X-Marker. I asked to keep the kilt for a couple of days before I sent it to him so that I could take a few pictures for the 2nd edition of my book. It fit my future son-in-law perfectly! The piper is my daughter.

Barb, that kilt is just mouth-watering! The photos are excellent too. I have now moved 'Isle of Skye' up to the top of my 'wants list'! Well done; it's beautiful.

Wow, that kilt is simply stunning. The poor x-marker (sorry I forgot whose it is) must be in Jones hell! Well done Barb!

It's amazing what a mixture of scotch and valium will do to calm the jones....sometime I might try it (drooling and twitching in anticipation).
I plan to wear this one to work on St. Andrews day! I am so psyched, not least because of how psyched the kiltmaker is about it. Original thanks to Phil Corlis' kiltmaker for pioneering(?) the stripeless stripe pleat (would that be pleating to the bar?)
Barb has been a dream to work with. We must have exchange 30 emails for one reason or another to ensure everything comes out right. Sure hope it fits! 
Ron - I'd have ordered it anyway, but it makes it more special to find that I have 5th, 6th, and 7th great-grandfathers (McIvers) who are from the Parish of Sleat, Isle of Skye starting in 1697. I know Kathy Lare will do a bang-up job on yours.
