Following my recent post about the kilt I bought from Lidl supermarket I decided I wanted to buy a traditional all hand stitched kilt. Having ordered my tartan from Dunans Castle its now with the Scottish tailors. They are http://www.macdonaldkiltmakers.co.uk/

They reckon it takes a couple of weeks to make so looking forward to receiving it and posting up a photo.

Oh dear! We knew this was going to happen. Welcome to the addiction. :-)

You are getting very fast service if they san do it in two weeks! Not too long to wait.

Thanks for giving a link to this kilt-maker. I didn't know about them.

Just a shame I can't have it in time for Burns night...oh well i'll have to wear me Lidl kilt for that one.

So here is the final result, my lovely Dunans Rising kilt made from 8 yards of pure wool from Bute, 6000+ hand stitches and about 18 hours hand crafted work. I think it is beautiful kilt and great to see the proceeds will help eventually restore Castle Dunans.
