Sorry if this slightly hijacks the thread and Mods please feel free to move it but I was at the Loch Ness exhibition centre at Drumnadrochit in August and I saw one of the tour guides from one of the tourist coaches wearing what looked like some sort of sheepskin legwarmer things wrapped around his legs and held together with criss cross leather thongs. They looked fantastic and so much more rustic and authentic than modern hose. I guess that if you cut the foot part of Ugg boots and then laced up the leg in a ghillie brogue style long lace you get a better idea of what I mean.

Does anyone know what these are called and where can you get them or do you think that they were more of a homemade accessory.

they really looked the part.
