    Hi Phil.

    Have you seen Buchanan Hunting modern and ancient from Lochcarron

    I like the Modern a lot.

    I quite like that as well, John. I believe a number of American Buchanans co-operated in making a few newer Buchanan tartans, including a dress tartan. I wonder why
    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.

    They are certainly less like a "See you Jimmy" tartan but weren't available when I was getting a kilt and I hope the two I have will see me my days now.

    Yes, the hunting tartan is really nice. I will admit that the clan tartan is a bit 'garish' in modern colours , but I have mine in Lochcarron ancient colours which is a bit easier on the eye (in fact the colours are much softer than in the photo). I'd love one in weathered colours for day wear.
    The Kilt is my delight !
