Also, I might add that analine dyes were introcduced in 1856 in Scotland, so the cloth could be 150 years old and analine dyed.

This may well be genuine, however you'll note that (as far as I could see) there's no reference to just when this guy's trip to Scotland took place,
so the immediacy or otherwise of the need to pay 'medical bills' sounds a little convenient.

"Are we Scots or Pakistani.." There may be a place called 'Sterling' in Pakistan, but for the 25 years I lived in Scotland, the university town 28 miles from Glasgow was known as Stirling (could be a typo I suppose).

I wonder if he'd consider doing a trade for a genuine victorian cellphone
I picked up when visiting an imaginary shoppe in Olde London Towne
sometime recently. I've also got a microwave oven reputed to have been used by Alan Pinkerton............

I got the guy to take more pics and send them to me. I'll post em in a thread on the 'show us your pics' (and link the thread here after it's posted) - but... I'm no expert here, but based on the straps, buckles and fringe, it looks a HELL of a lot like my stillwater. EDIT: Just noticed 2 straps/buckles, not 3.

Theres even a tag on the inside which appears to be blacked out.

So... posting a thread there, be back to edit this with a link.

EDIT: Ok, I lied, no thread in the other forum. I thought I could upload pics to xmarks through there, if I gotta post em online I may as well just link my site.

Pics here: Kilt Pics
