    I think that Randonee Bretonne tartan is gorgeous! Such a great combination of earthy colors. As a non-clan tartan, anyone can wear it without the "Am I entitled to do so?" anxiety. Can we assume it is an 8-yard? And, as always, the accessorizing is impeccable, as is the pictorial display.

    Question. Is your USAK Irelands National a 4 or 8-yarder? You say "lightweight, but that may refer to the PV fabric.

    Many thanks, Turpin and, yes, it is an 8 yarder. I must add that to the caption.

    Actually, it is just over 6 yards, and in using the word "lightweight" I was indeed referring to the PV fabric. It is sooooo comfortable to wear at this time of year - the Winter may be a different matter, however. Time will tell!

    A number of our brethren have experienced similar problems with both Ron's and my albums over the past year or two, Pleater, and the answer seems to have been to disable the Firewall entirely whilst viewing. Now, I am the least technically-minded fellow in these 'ere X Marks parts and so I do not understand firewalls (although I know I have one!) nor would I know how to switch it on and off. So I cannot and must not offer further advice! Sorry!

    Great Additions to your already wonderful gallery. I just love the The Brittany National tartan. It's absolutely gorgeous. Your gallery should be required viewing for every new member of X Marks.

    Cheers

    The pictures and your kilts are amazing. I especially like colors in the 'Randonnée Bretonne'.
