Question about flashes...

[figheadair]

Intriguing indeed. I've always been quite fascinated by the Ogilvie tartan - i.e., it's colour scheme, complex sett, historical apsect, etc. If someone ever commissioned an Ogilvie kilt to be made by you Matt, or if you ever decide to make one for yourself, it would be very interesting to see this process being done, step by step. Either way, photos of each particular step would be awesome - perhaps a nice topic for your blog - this is all hypothetically speaking, naturally.

Cheers,

We're going a bit off topic but if one was going to get the Ogilvie woven it would have to be the HSL version which is probably the oldest and certainly the most beautiful.

I'm in the early stages of a paper about the Ogilvie/Drummond of Strathallan and their connection with the original tartan used by the Royal Company of Archers.

Wonderful, Peter! I would love to read your paper (when it is finished, naturally) on the issue.

"We're going a bit off topic but if one was going to...."

I read in another thread recently, the term "floating relevance".

I'm satisfied with the answers to the questions in my original post, so feel free to take this one wherever it wants to go now, fellas!
