1790 MacDuff Long Overdue Photo & 3rd Run Invitation

[Orionson]

I don't know why it has taken me so long, but I have just changed my Avatar to a recent photo of the 1790 MacDuff Paul Henry Kilt with the Five Sisters of Kintail in the background. The photo was taken from the old Drover's Road at Ratagan.


For those who may be interested in owning some of this historic Tartan, I invite you to join us for the Third Run. This time, we are going with something just a wee bit different. Tbe Third Run of the 1790 MacDuff Tartan is being woven in magnificent Original Harris Tweed by none other than Reg Amor of Harris Tweed Tartans, in Shawbost in the Isle of Lewis. Here is a link to Reg's Facebook Page.

As with the wonderful first two runs by Robin Elliot, of Andrew Elliot Weavers in Selkirk, every effort will be made to recreate the colours and feel ~ the "hand" ~ of the original homespun, natural dyed 1790 MacDuff Tartan Kilt which is one of the cornerstones of the Scottish Tartans Authority Collection.

Here is a link to Matthew Newsome's wonderful photos of the original Kilt. These are the photos which started me on this journey back in 2012.
