Ah!
I'm missing so much in Edinburgh over the weekend. I'm sure I'll have a great time in Dumfries, though!
Thanks for the info Alex... and John, you should abandon all plans for St. Andrew 
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

I dont think I'll make it back in time, sadly.
By the way - I saw some yellow hose when buying some purple hose at Sloane's Market in Glasgow... obviously I thought of you!

Take care,

It was at a stall in Sloane's Market around a month ago. The woman told me she's never sold a pair of yellow hose so it was good that she only has one pair.
I was there around 2 weeks ago for some black hose and there were no yellow hose out on the stall. She told me a young lady had bought them to wear with her boots 2 minutes before I was there! 
I found some on sites.
here's some with a plain cuff:

Brighter yellow with a detailed cuff:

I really like the second pair. When I get a kilt with a yellow stripe (which I should be soon) I'll definitely be buying a pair!

No problem Hamish. Also check out this site:

I'm buying a pair of hose and a set of 4 pairs of gartars off there. All seems a very good deal.
