    Hamish, great outfit as usual. I drool over that Randonee Bretonne tartan. If only it wasn't so D@M# expensive. I've only found it from the one kiltmaker (where you got it), and my lord!!

    Maybe next week.

    Hamish, I take it you decided to sell your home so it could be turned into a hotel! While I'm sure it was a rough move...how do you deal with the reduced kilt storage space?

    Hamish,

    You said,

    "PS: Scotland and Wales are not the only places to find great castles! This one is in good condition in spite of it having been knocked about a bit by Oliver Cromwell in 1643!"

    I'm very glad that the castle is finally finished so you could have such a great place to show off a great kilt, but My God, don't you folks over there have Home Depot? I mean jeez, 363 years to stick in some new vinyl windows, hang a few drapes, and splash on a new coat of paint?
    Well perhaps you have trouble finding tradespeople. But after all that time you would think even one old guy working alone with a broken meter stick and a dull saw could have finished in only 214 years.

    Great pics Hamish. Thanks for sharing.

    A moving photo—Bravo!

    Thanks for the photos. It's always good to see photos of other places that we might like to visit. Love the second photo—really well done.

    Awesome Hamish! I absolutely adore those Briton tartans.

    Truely, there is no finer looking gent around.

    Hamish, your sense of style is always a treat for the eyes. I only wish there were more photos!

    It's been tough, KT ............ and is likely to get tougher still. But, y'know, it's been worth it. I got a fair price for the old place after all!
