Robertson Hunting

I am a huge fan of the NTCPD. They play at all our festivals, & are just fantastic.

I would love to hear them, especially because of their excellent choice of tartan!

Plus, my son, who will be in the USAF soon, and in Texas, is making noise about wanting to learn the drums with a pipe band

Anyway, they appear to pleat their kilts to sett, rather than to stripe, which is what I am interested in. If you know any of them, ask them for me, or get them on the forum and on this thread!

I'd love to see a Robertson hunting knife pleated to stripe.

Barb, where are you? Do you have a pic?

Och! I'll try, but I think everyone is in Salado this weekend for the Gathering of the Clans.

Hi guys

I've been in Minneapolis at a meeting, and I'm sitting at the airport right now waiting for my flight home. I actually don't have a pic of the kilt, because I don't take pictures of all the kilts that I make. But it would be easy for me to pin up a pleating to the red stripe in a leftover scrap when I get home. Might not be tomorrow, because we have a Veteran's Day parade to play tomorrow (looks like it will be really cold, unfortunately. I hate playing my pipes in cold weather...). Oh! Good news on that front - I passed the audition into our Grade 4 competition section with flying colors! Yay!

For a trad kilt, with typical pleat size, pleating to the white stripe means a _lot_ of white across the back (a much higher % of white than in the box-pleated kilt that Matt talks about above). Not my favorite, actually, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The red is more subtle and looks very sharp.

Will post something some time tomorrow or Sunday.

Cheers!

Congratulations Barb, and thanks!

How do you do it?!

**Prester John** · 11th November 05, 03:18 PM

Yes, I've seen these pics on their website.

Robertson Hunting alright, but pleated to sett.

I'm looking for a pic of it pleated to stripe. I was wondering if the white stripe was too wide on this tartan, my wife's clan.

Thanks, though!

Barb,

A grade 4 WOW!

Congratulations

Does this pic help?

Or this (the guy on the far right)?

Also, if you go to their gallery & chose the pic "2004 Batesville Games, The Ballantyne Band in the Ring at Lyon's College" you'll see a good photo that is too big to post on the forum.
