BTW, how is "clogyn" pronounced?

[Sherry]

Well, not being a speaker of Welsh Gaelic, I couldn't say for sure. We'll have to ask Derek. :smile:

Sherry,

I am fairly sure that it is pronounced 'klogin', with the 'o' and the 'g' pronounced as in 'got'.

By the way, I wouldn't let a Welshman hear you referring to 'Welsh Gaelic' if I were you, as Welsh is not a Gaelic language. There are two branches of the Celtic languages in the British Isles. These are Brythonic and Gaelic. Welsh is a member of the Brythonic branch, together with Cornish. The Gaelic branch includes Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic and Manx.

Sherry .. Rob is correct in his interpretation. Klog .. in. My wife tried the one on that they use for show in the shop the day we took Hamish to the Welsh Tartan Centre. They are made to measure and you can have your family tartan put on it. My wife fell in love with it. It is something now on her wish list. She wants to wear it on stage at our gigs as well as social.

Derek will have the definitive answer, but I think its y Gymraeg.

That's what I suspected, but couldn't post with any authority about it. I'm not surprised your DW fell in love with it. Some brilliant designer out did him/herself with that one.
