    Isle of Skye by Kathy Lare

    Its here! My Isle of Skye 16 ounce Strome from Lochcarron sewn up by Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts.

    What a dream kilt this is! There is NOTHING like the swish of a 16 ounce kilt.

    Of course I wore it at the Grand Canyon this weekend to get some pics.



    The purple in the tartan matches the purple of the rocks in the canyon.



    At the fireplace in Hermit's Rest. The kilt pin is the Hopi bear pin I got for Christmas.



    Was joking around, but it shows the depth of the pleats.

    Ron. that is sweet! It is making my wait for the Matt box pleat in the Isle of Skye even harder. Of course, the location is not helping either!

    Hermit's Rest is my favorite spot at the canyon. I wish I could live there. Great Pictures!

    So Ron, did you take some pics; jump in the car; change into another Kilt; take a few more pics; jump back into the car; change again; etc. etc. etc?

    Good Job Detective Mudd,

    The weather was bad Saturday on the drive down to Tuba City to meet my lady and on the drive up to Grand Canyon from there. So wore the leather kilt.

    Saturday night changed into the Isle of Skye for dinner, but it was too dark by then for good pics. So wore the Isle of Skye today for poking around the South Rim.

    I took the Warrior with the intention of being able to take some pics of it too but we slept in and got a late start. On the way back down from the South Rim was bugging me that I'd sort of promised Rocky to get some pics at the Grand Canyon so yeah, I did find an empty parking area and changed in and by the car to get the Warrior tartan pics. Another good reason to wear an underkilt in cold weather.

    Weather folks said it was -6F at the rim this morning but didn't seem anywhere near that cold...unless I got too close and caught an updraft.

    I like the grey sweater with the kilt (matching grey hose? )

    Together with the Xmarks kilts...the Isle of Skye seems to be the most common "forum kilt"...with reason...it's such a beautiful tartan!
