New Kilt Shop in Town - Just had to place an order
In another thread about the growth of kilt shops, I mentioned that one had recently opened here in Hawick. Too bad that I'd already bought more kilts than I needed from out of town before the local shop opened. Nothing else for it but to order up kilt number ten.
I went into Tyneside Tartans and chose the Teviotdale tartan. I've ordered an 8 yard 13 oz. The photo is of a 16/17oz kilt from his hire stock. This is quite a popular tartan for people hiring kilts to attend functions in the towns and villages along the Teviot river valley, and having lived within Teviotdale for the past seventeen years I consider myself entitled to wear it. Although Teviotdale is traditionally associated with the Elliots this is a very different tartan from Clan Elliot tartan and you don't need to be an Elliot to wear the Teviotdale.
Here is a cut and paste from another site about Teviotdale.
The borders of Scotland are renowned for breeding the wildest and hardiest
of the Scottish Clans. The Elliot Clan originated in the Highlands, at the
foot of Glenshee in Angus, then they were granted land in Teviotdale by the
great King Robert the Bruce in the early 14th Century and they travelled
south to settle in their new territory. Here the Clan prospered, zealously
guarding their interests in the turbulent borders.

That's a nice, neat little shop. I notice it says they're air conditioned. Does it get that hot there?

Alex, that is one GORGEOUS tartan! That colouring will be an entirely new direction for you, I'm thinking. I am now very jealous.
Currently, I have nothing at all on order (yes, how strange is that?!), but I am very soon to give Barb my measurements for a new kilt from her 'stable' and I am thinking Craig Ancient......
Now, I might have to reconsider!
