Day Wear Jacket-- A Review of "Plan B"

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Just as an aside, when I am not wearing "Big Feathers" I tuck a sprig of holly behind my cap badge. That's because, at the end of the day, despite whatever other status I may have, I am first and foremost a clansman.

Precisely Scott! Well said mate!

I have a heraldically ignorant, botanical question.

Does that include Yaupon Holly, and other Ilex plants, or does it have to be European Holly (Ilex aquifolium)?

You look absolutely wonderful Scott! I love your feathers and am proud to see another Scottish Armiger wearing his rank appropriately and with such class, reverence, and pride.

Yours aye,

Oh Dear......I really don't know. It's the green prickly kind, if that helps...

Actually that does mostly answer the question.

The Yaupon Holly would not count in that case. Just wondering from a discussion I had back during Christmas. Thanks.

Scott,

I love your leather sporran with brass cantle featured in your photo. I assume you have owned the sporran for quite some time? I am very interested in that particular style (18th-century style?) and am in the market for a well made, heirloom quality version.

Yours aye,

Hi Kyle,

I bought the sporran about 40 years ago at the Braemar Games. I recently arranged to have something a bit fancier made in silver, and will post photos when it's finished.

In the 1950s the MOD actually issued a similar sporran with a frog mouth brass cantle; I think it was called the "Culloden" cantle but I'm not sure. These turn up from time to time, and if you PM me I'll put you in touch with a friend who may have one for sale.
