I am curious honestly about the purling, there are clearly way more threads in each purl than I expected. Thanks.

Some very pretty brooches in here. Appreciate the ideas.
The photo I posted was cropped from one of Charles McKerrell of Hillhouse. The brooch belonged to his father, and perhaps even to his grandfather. The photo of Hillhouse was taken at the Gathering in Edinburgh.

I'm afraid I cannot tell you anything about the plaid Hillhouse is wearing. The purling looks "normal" to me, but then I am not an expert on that sort of thing.
