Great Pics, Reminds me of our last trip. Glen Elg, Kintail (MacRaeCountry), Plokton, Kyle, Locharron, Isle of Skye. I am jealous...seeing those pics make me want to go back. I did the drive to Lockarron in the rain, I couldnt imagine doing it in the snow.

Two questions: Of whom is that statue in Hawick? Is that location the traditional resting place of the Delano family?

The horse illustrates the lead rider returning to town victorious and waving the captured standard of the English town of Hexham, following the Battle of Hornshole in 1514.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's maternal ancestors, Murray, are buried in the Auld Kirk in the neighbouring town of Selkirk, eleven miles north of Hawick.

Great pics! Thanks for posting, it must be near impossible to walk away without a new kilt.

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).
