    I....I......I think I need oxygen.
    Alan,

    Here is a bit of oxygen:

    Clic on the British flag then enter : Capercaillie tartan in the search box, and there you go :
    Double width for £43...


    Best,

    Things do change, as I constantly remind myself. Perhaps it's a new offering: I've never seen it on Lochcarron's Web site, either. IN fact, I still don't see it there.
