Last year I was lucky enough to find two 'ex hire' kilts on ebay and bought them very cheaply. One, a Royal Stewart heavyweight in Lochcarron Strome, from Lochcarron, I bought from America for $99 (about £76 at the rate at that time). This kilt is almost in a brand new condition and would have cost £371 if bought from Lochcarron today, and the other a medium weight in ancient Hume (my clan tartan) which cost me £75. I've just found a label on the apron edge of the Hume kilt indicating that it was originally made by Raymond of Doune, and on checking them out on Google have found that they make the kilts for Lochcarron. On examining the kilts I've found that both the straps and hanging loops are identical so this must be the case. As this company are regarded as one of Scotland's finest kiltmakers I can't believe that I've been so lucky to find these two kilts at such bargain prices.
