Glen,
Thank you SO much for such a great collection of images. I have long wondered what the Scottish Tartans Museum is like and now I have the feeling I have actually been there myself! I love Matt's display walls of tartans and I must confess, my heart missed a beat when I saw the 18th-19th Century box-pleated (tweed?) kilt, but I am glad to know that it's not for sale - at least no-one else can have it either!
Maybe, just maybe, I'll get to visit that part of the USA myself one day .......... I can dream can't I?
Take care,
Ham.

Hamish, according to expedia.co.uk it's around 200 quid return from LAX to Atlanta so next time you're in Palm Springs?
Still, £200 is almost a new kilt. Ooooh, decisions-decisions 
Hope you make it. I'd love to go myself but currently lack both the excuse and the where with-all. I'd have to take my entire brood and from Manchester, that would run to a bit more than £200

It is kind of you to have checked that out John but, until this credit crunch thang is over, I doubt I'll be getting anywhere further than the Isle of Wight for a while - other than my already arranged trips to Edinburgh in July for The Gathering, and Dumfries in January for the Ferintosh Burns weekend, of course. Also, I came home from the USA with three more kilts than I went over with (photos coming soon), so it's going to take my Bank Manager a while to recover.
Take care,
Ham.
