    I'd definitely buy the true color one. For some colors, it really makes a difference for matching thread, for example. And the fold-up portable one is amazing. I've had mine for over 10 years and traveled with it all over the country. It inevitably gets me a hand baggage search, though, because it looks odd on the Xray machine at security. When I bought the lamp, I also bought an extra bulb, because I was sure it would burn out/break. I still haven't replaced the bulb. What a great light!

    I didn't think I would ever be able to attend a Kilt Camp but I have just registered and booked my hotel.

    I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. I am staying for the festival too.

    I am not bringing my GH pipes Barb, but I will bring my Scottish smallpipes.

    Now I'm all excited

    I'll bring my small pipes, too. Do you have key of A or key of D small pipes?

    Hi Barb,

    I have a John Walsh combo set, both A and D but I prefer the A set. The D chanter holes are a little close together for my fingers.
