........without any problems what so ever.

Having said that, I could feel the stares from the tourists as we (the family) walked along the Royal Mile. I now think the thing to do is to stay away from the tourist areas.

Of course the whole purpose of the trip was to look for a second kilt. I headed off for Geoffrey (Tailors) and spent a while in the shop.

It was quite busy and I couldn't help myself ear wigging the other customers.

There was an American guy, buying a black TFCK and a flourescant pink sporran!! A young, English, lad with his mother. She was buying him a Prince Charlie outfit for his 18th birthday.

Then there was a young lad who was wearing a light grey, tweed TFCK. Several others were browsing the racks.

I went in with the intention of going for a charcoal grey TFCK. BUT........... then I saw it. The Scottish Rugby Union tartan. I haven't decided 100 per cent but I reckon this is what I'll go for. The guy took my details as there was no one in the shop to give me a quote on the TFCK (Howie was in London). I intend to pop back in a couple of weeks time.

I'm also contemplating a leather kilt shirt!!!
