All of you look splendid indeed!

You are correct, I did have a good wee chat with Brian, and when Flora McDonald was making her speech, without aide of a written copy I might add, she made mention of Brain and his accomplishments. He really was a wonderful character to talk with.

Looks like a great time.

I'm sure the complimentary wine and the Scotch tasting sponsored by Glenfiddich did not hurt, David said he picked the 18 year old, this he said was a bad thing as his sporran was not deep enough he said perhaps he'd stick with the 5 year old instead.

He certainly does bear a striking resemblance to Sir John!

That sir is the Royal Stewart, you may know it from Shortbread tins, I think what may be throwing you off is the fact that is does come out quite Orange under certain lighting. It is the same kilt I used for the 1 kilt 10 looks thread here.

Thank you. Yes, lighting does foul up the colors.

BTW, I own a Regimental Issue in it. It is beautiful.
