    To be able to tour round a weaving mill and get a new kilt - you are one lucky person Alex.

    Thumbs up

    Great photos all Alex, thanks for posting them. Its really cool to see the inner workings of the mill where the tartan used for my kilt came from

    Wish you could've grabbed me a bolt of Macdonnell of Keppoch (Ancient)!

    The Highland Granite is beautiful, and such a great deal too!

    Interesting to see the resting place for FDR's maternal line (I'm a distant cousin to him & TR from their Dutch/New Amsterdam line).

    How cool is that!! I don't recall the last time I felt jealous of anyone...but dang...I think I'm green with envy at you guys getting the tour - and grateful you were kind enough to shoot pics along the way and share the journey. No way would my plastic survive such a trip...it would melt..
