Paisley Kilt at Housing Assoc. Conference Peebles Hydro

First opportunity to photograph the Paisley tartan 17oz 8 yard kilt in daylight during lunchbreak at the Housing Association Conference. I am a board member of a charitable housing association which provides houses to tenants at affordable rents and today was our Conference at Peebles Hydro followed by Christmas dinner.

The venue was Peebles Hydro, a 129 bedroom four star hotel built in 1881.

I'm officially jealous. The kilt looks great, too.

History lesson for the day, the pattern above, though
Persian and Indian of origin takes its popular name from the aforementioned town of Paisley in Scotland.

Grant! Stop squirming in your chair and trying to dip Star's pigtails in the inkwell, or I'll have to come over with the ruler.

Best regards,

Q: when did they change the name to the current spelling of Paisley?
