Kilt in Highland Granite tartan

[Barb T]

Hi guys

Promised I'd post a picture of the kilt I just finished in Lochcarron's new Highland Granite tartan. If I manage to do this right, there should be a picture of it below.

If anyone wants a closeup of the tartan, let me know, and I'll post a pic.

That is a beautiful kilt. Great work Barb!!!

Wow, I absolutely love it! I knew when I got a swatch of that tartan, it would make a georgeous kilt. I currently have one client with a kilt on order (Lochcarron is making it up), and it should arrive here in the next couple of weeks.

I hate it when I find another attractive tartan... Like I need another kilt!

I made the kilt for my daughter's fiance, and he wore it to the Cortland Celtic Festival last weekend (where the pic was taken). When he strode out of the arena after the band played, the head of every female ages 5 to 85 turned to watch him walk out. It is a fabulous tartan that makes a sharp-looking kilt!!

That it does, absolutely gorgeous tartan, and as always, the kilt itself is amazing.

Well done indeed, Barb. (Actually, I'd love to see close-ups of those pics - lycrakilt@aol.com when you get a minute!!). I have been wondering about my next tartan, and that really could be it. Stunning!

One for me please too Barb ,

Can you tell me a little about the Tartan too...Thanks beforehand

I'll grab a piece of the tartan tonight when I go home and bring it in tomorrow for a quick scan, and I'll post a pic on this thread.

Lochcarron designed this tartan quite recently, and what makes it quite unique when viewed up close is that they used a twisted gray and black thread for some of the stripes, which gives some of the blocks a heathery look that is remarkably like some of the fine-grained gray granites that I've seen in the field. Anyway, you'll see what I mean when I post the pic. It is reminiscent of the Gray Douglas but more muted.

Cheers!

Have to agree with the rest, it is a great looking tartan. Is there any form of history or 'provenance' behind it?
