    Kilt No.60 Has Arrived!

    Yes folks, kilt No.60 in my Kilt Kollection was delivered this morning from The Scottish Store in Edinburgh. It is the unique 'Saltire' kilt which is available from many Highland Outfitters, but which is woven by only one mill. Here are the first photos:



    ....and a silly little video-clip to show the 'Saltire Swing' - click on the image:


    No doubt more images will follow shortly.

    Very nice Hamish. I know some aren't a fan of the Saltire kilt, but I have always liked it. I think it looks great. I may just have to get one of those one of these days.

    Nice twirl there Sir. I can see now why the ladies miss a heart beat when a lad twirls in a kilt...I have to do that more often myself

    Really appreciate that you always are sure to "show us the pleats" in your pics.

    I think the Saltire looks great. And as always Hamish does a fantastic job showing it off!

    Hamish, is the big "X" actually part of the weave, or does it appear to be printed onto the fabric?
