Tartan Scarf Gifted To Soccer Boss
Hey guys I know this is not a "Kilt in the media" but as some of you are aware my father "Gerald Reilly of Selkirk Scottish Borders" designed a new tartan last year called Guardian of Scotland, it is currently being woven by Lochcarron of Scotland and was part of their exibit at the recent Scottish trade fair in Glasgow, well 2 of Selkirk's football club approached us a couple of weeks ago and asked if we would supply them a scarf to present to Roberto Mancini (Manchester City manager) as it is his trademark to wear a blue and white scarf on the touchline during the games. Of course we agreed and gave them a Guardian of Scotland dress tartan scarf to present to him.
He was delighted with the gift and spoke very highly of it and Selkirk. He is also now a massive fan of Robbie Burns as this burns supper was his first.
I and my father as very very pleased with the outcome of last weeks burns supper I just thought I would share it will all you guys also.

Great, well done!
I do love the tartan, and I do plan to have it made into a kilt - though it's on a long, long list!
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.
