Thanks, Jim!

Sons aren't quite as keen on the kilt, yet--still in the conformist stage. But I'm workin' on 'em. Thanks for the kind words.

That is a really fine sporran. Thanks for posting the photos. It adds to my sense of what a fine looking sporran is.
Your trip to that estate is amazing and your family looks like fun. It reminds me of Newport, Rhode Island. It is always fun to see how our ancestors patrons and 'betters' lived. Wow.
Thanks for the pics.

Greetings John,
What great photos!
That fantastic sporran will indeed make quite an heirloom. Congratulations! I've recently acquired a nice heirloom for myself. Check out my new Rab Gordon Sgian posted in the Accessories forum.
Cheers,
Ken

Ken, just checked out your Rab Gordon Sgian in the Kilt Accessories forum. What a great sgian! I've kind of blown through my budget, but a Rab Gordon sgian goes on the wish list...I hope you and your wife are well.
