Stirling and Bannockburn
I just looked it up and yes, that is a lovely tartan.

I'm the same way.

Gorgeous tartan! Richard, mate, you should have pulled that trigger!!! Oh well, go and use the funds to buy a new tweed jacket and waistcoat - mine far out-number the kilts I own.

Oh yeah... Me too!

Sounds to me your sound of reason was the angel, rather, and the devil was absent!

Re: Just couldn't pull the trigger :(
I'm glad I didn't find your post prior to the auction ending. A Stirling and Bannockburn is on wish list to someday acquire. This one was about an inch longer than necessary, but I might have been tempted.

Re: Just couldn't pull the trigger :(
Sorry to derail this thread, but I thought the OP would like to see this item that I recently saw on ebay. I also let it slip, not because I would not love it, but I simply do not have the disposable cash for it.

Wow that sporran is amazing!
I've never seen the middle knob fluted (or is "fluted" the right term?) like that.
BTW those small swatches of Stirling and Bannockburn posted above can't do justice to how wonderful a kilt made up in heavyweight tartan looks.
That auction is gone. BTW the seller didn't mention the weight, but I could tell it was in heavy weight tartan because of the large sett size.

I did pull the trigger on this one

thinking it was just too good a deal to pass up.
