I have a very heavy, 8 yard hunting Fraser, Home spun Kilt from Campbell & Co. in Beauly.
http://www.campbellsofbeauly.co.uk/
It's one of a batch of several, special ordered by our Fraser band way back in the mid 60's.
I am the 3rd owner of this particular kilt; the first owner died and the other got too fat.
I have had the kilt for about 25 years and I had it rebuilt about 10 years ago.

I also have a belted plaid of a hard woven worsted in hunting Fraser purchased at Campbell's as well.
I just last week sent yet another piece of yardage from Campbell's off to Matt Newsome for a nice new four yard box pleated kiltie but I guess that doesn't count.
