    Paisley Kilt at Housing Assoc. Conference Peebles Hydro


    First opportunity to photograph the Paisley tartan 17oz 8 yard kilt in daylight during lunchbreak at the Housing Association Conference. I am a board member of a charitable housing association which provides houses to tenants at affordable rents and today was our Conference at Peebles Hydro followed by Christmas dinner.

    The venue was Peebles Hydro, a 129 bedroom four star hotel built in 1881.

    Wow! What a fantastic hotel. That's one place where the rent definitely does not look affordable. I'm officially jealous. The kilt looks great, too.
