As I promised Hamish I asked Tony Collins re the weight when I revisited the stall today at the Royal Welsh Show.

He said that all the WTC cilts (all material woven at the Cambrian Woollen Mill, Llanwrtyd Wells) are made with 13 oz, or just a little over and the difference in weight is therefore down to the casual cilts being 5 yards as opposed to the full 8 yard cilt.

I wore my Roberts today and it held its own well and felt really good despite the unaccustomed heat

As I entered the ground someone from a TV camera crew shouted "hello Jock!"

(Despite a dragon on my cilt, another dragon on my sporran and dragon badges on my Balmoral!)

I calmly wished him "Bore Da." He carried on with "how ya doing Jock."

NO WAY was I going to speak to him in English

So as I swept past, I replied "Iawn diolch, dyma un cilt Cymraeg, dim Albaneg." (Fine thanks this is a Welsh cilt not Scottish).

Clearly more cilted missionary work is required in Wales!
