As always Hamish . . . near perfect (thistle buckle aside). (You know that the Amish women, when they make their quilts, always deliberately place one piece upside down. They say so that people realize only God is perfect!)

Hamish,
The sporran design is based on the Banner of the Duchy of Cornwall.
More info can be found here:

Nice kilt Hamish. I have one in the Cornish Hunting tartan, which really just replaces most of the yellow with a dark green. I love it because I can simultaneously show off my Scottish/Cornish descent.

Here also is a link explaining a little more about the Cornish tartans.

Ham,
What a wonderful kilt, and a great Tartan as well. The dress look is positively outstanding!
I too am a Steelers fan, so I love the black and yellow.
I wouldn't have noticed anything amiss with the buckle, though I am still a newbie to the whole scene.
As always, you look greta, and the rest of us are green with envy!

Outstanding, as usual, Ham.
You look so smart in the formal ensemble, I am wishing for you a formal occasion to which you may escort someone equally dashing.
I also would love to see the casual look with a (turquoise?) blue polo or black long-sleeve shirt.
I'm adding that tartan to my list of favorits, and decided that I need a Hamish photo album for my coffee table now.
Yes - it looks like you are feeling MUCH better now.
