    Have to confess, I've never been a fan of the full mask sporrans. The idea of having a nearly-whole, recognisable animal hanging over my crotch has never appealed.

    But a whole dead duck tied around my waist? That's just weird!

    I agree with much said here. I'm a more traditional sporran Scotsman!

    Don't think I could get away with wearing these in my neighborhood. I live across the street from an elementary school. I think the PTA would show up at my house with pitchforks and torches.

    Some interesting sporrans. I've bookmarked the site for future reference. Thanks for posting the link.

    And full mask sporrans aren't "traditional?"

    I'll have to say I think the bird sporrans are a bit of a novelty, but the masks are truly beautiful--and very traditional.

    I am quite sure that full mask sporrans are traditional as well. I do have to say though, as a traditionalist, I'm more comfortable with foxes, and certain members of the weasel family (like badgers) as full mask sporrans.

    I find the non-mammal and traditional mask sporrans to be....very weird.
