    Celtic Craft Centre Kilts

    I had already posted a couple of pictures of me wearing the Caledonia Ancient from the Celtic Craft centre in my latest Scottish foray. However Andrew had also ordered one, the kilt arrived with mine but he also ordered a plaid which I collected in Edinburgh as this was delayed a little.

    The pics of me are beltless - although I wore the sporran at the same level as before it looks lower than with a belt as more of the kilt is visible.









    And here is Andrew with his County Antrim and plaid. It's a lovely tartan and he was very pleased with it.







    He also had to sit on the 'Wing of course!

    Mr. McClef and Andrew, those are very nice kilts!

    A very smart looking pair of boyos there. I like the York Railway Museum T-shirt.

    Those are both wonderful looking garments, I really do like the colours in your Caledonia Ancient, and both look to be very well made indeed, the quality comes through in the pictures. I am impressed with the straps on these kilts they look very substantial indeed.

    Congratulations to both of you.

    Thanks McMurdo! The straps are embossed with a nice pattern too!

    Looks like I will have to bring my Welsh PC and my Caledonia when I come to Canada!

    Those are great looking kilts. I'm wondering when the CCC started adding the third strap to their kilts. When I purchased my kilt from them in 2000 from their store in San Francisco they made their kilts with two straps.

    Very nice indeed gentlemen. I do like the tooling on the straps. I've never seen that detail before.
