X Markers Dressy Kilted Pictures

[Jock Scot]

Hello Terry,we call a "crook" a "cromach" in this part of the world.Stick making or stick dressing is quite a popular hobby in the UK and there are several quite serious competitions that take place during the year to gain various accollades.Stick making used to be almost the preserve of the Game Keepers,stalkers,sheepherds, etc.,that used to make the sticks during the dark winter months to earn a few extra pennies.Or,in my case, a very special 21st birthday gift.

I am surprised that you practical chaps have not caught the stick making bug,there are plenty of books,videos,DVDs on the subject.

Hello Jock Scot, I didn't want to hijack this thread so I've created a new one regarding the "cromach" over at:

Very cool Ron, & I think I recall seeing you play at the B'ham games now!

Will you be bringing Sam this year?

Here's a pic of myself and my Evil Twin, McFarkus, at my father's memorial party in January.

Me - Tewksbury 8-yard Munro Ancient, J. Higgins jacket, WPG beret, and Buddy the Badger.
McFarkus - SWK Black Watch heavyweight, wool ebay argyle, Thorfinn sporran, and Dreadbelly Bonnet, treebark color (I have one of these too - very nice)

You guys look incredible.
I have to say, though, if this is your dressy then my formal is rubbish!

Hey turpin, can you give me a link to which beret that is? There are a million of them listed on their site and I think the one you are sporting there is right up my alley!

You both looks smashing btw. Love the badger sporran!

Ok, this is getting dressy for me. At some point there will be a brown corduroy jacket and vest added to this outfit, as well as, brown Lewis hose.


That is a half set Weathered Lamont and rabbit fur sporran from Stillwater Kilts. The Tweed flat cap is Kangaroo brand, and the belt is an AWP work belt from Lowes. You can't see them but my shoes are tweed Castro shoes and match the flat cap.

With the short sleeves and no jacket, I think this would be more at home in the "casual" section.

Yesterday I went do dinner for my Birthday and just had to get dressed up.
