    I can't say that I have given any real thought where the skins have come from, but somehow I always thought that the seal skins used for sporrans were actually provided by the Eskimos for the recent past, say 50 years. Historically I can see that Scots seal skins would have been and were used. So where do(did) the seal skins used for sporrans by Scots sporran makers of modern times come from?
