    HRH The Duke of Rothesay as XMTS Patron?

It would be very interesting to hear what advice he would give on the wearing of the kilt, too, eh wot?

    Just a thought that I will leave for others more capable to pick up and run with...

    PS: isn't that the Stewart Hunting tartan HRH is wearing in the above?
    I must admit this has a slight fascination... I suspect that we wouldn't stand a chance, but I wonder???

    Two immediate questions come to mind:

    What would we like him to do for us as a Patron? Royals get LOTS of requests and generally folks are reluctant to ask outright for something - when they do, they are ironically more likely to get it.

    What would be in it for him? If we were a charity that shared his ambitions... If we were promoting something that would benefit British exports (Hmmm?!)...

    Thoughts?
    Best wishes, Graham.

    Think "green," conservation, and preservation. Possibly agriculture. Sheep, maybe.
