Brass Cantled Sporran & Forrest Outing
All of the threads, discussion and photos on here about brass cantled sporrans really got me going. I collected some of the photos from various threads, and emailed Ms. Janet Eagleton, MBE & Son [Maurice] at Scottish Sporrans in Perth to see whether they could make such a thing.
Mrs. Eagleton was a pleasure to talk to on the telephone, and less than three weeks later, a beautiful sporran arrived. It is stunning, everything I had hoped for. It will become an heirloom in my family. While it was dear, the quality is fantastic, and I expect it to outlast me in use by a great deal.

Here it is as worn on the back patio:

"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
