    The bottom end of her skirt would be the makings of a lovely tartan!

    Agree, but is actually the apron. I find it interesting that design similar to tartan is used in the Nordlandsbunad (costume from our district, which was voted most beautiful national/regional costume last year).

    The various regions have their own designs - not just a variation in pattern/colouring as with regional kilts, but totally different in cut, accessories etc. The emerging of the modern Norwegian national/regional costumes are part of the national romanticism, and coincides with the development of the modern (traditional) kilt. It is quite usual for women to own a costume, but not many men have/wear, even though there is a male version of the costumes too.

    Oops, apron!

    Of course I meant apron!

    The bottom of the skirt would have made a strangely floral kilt!

    Unnskyld!

    Should be straightforward unless you are arriving at Prestwick late at night. Take a Carlisle or Newcastle train direct from Prestwick Airport to Dumfries. Or take a Kilmarnock or Glasgow via Kilmarnock train to Kilmarnock and change trains at Kilmarnock.

    Even I have figured out how to get from Glasgow to Dumfries via train.

    Prestwick can't be that much harder.

    Of course with all the stuff I intend David to buy me at Anderson's I may need a car and FedEX to get it home.
