    All great photos but I'm particularly interested in this knife. One doesn't often see sgians with ivory handles... you must really have impressed them with your pipes!

    Thanks so much for this splendid photo log

    You put me to shame

    Robert, your photoset is fantastic and wonderfully depicts the lost culture of Scotland.
    I am a native of and still resident in the country and it's puts me to shame that you have visited and shared these beautiful sights of which I am in awe and it enforces my intention to find out more about my clan heritage and visit more of my own country rather than go abroad each year.
    I am a novice to wearing the kilt however I think that your outfits are magnificent - thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
    Regards
    Alex
