Wonderful Trip to the Museum and Great Deal at the Gift Shop!

[HaggisMacJedi]

I made the almost 3 hour pilgrimage from East Tennessee to the Scottish Tartans Museum today and it was wonderful. I got to drop off my Locharron Dress MacDonald tartan to Mr. Matt Newsome to be made into a 4 yard box pleated kilt and half belted plaid, and of course explored the museum and gift shop. Ronen and Matt pointed out a GREAT deal on some fabric at the gift shop: 8 yards of the 16oz STROME (Locharron) in MacDonald of Glengarry Ancient tartan for only $240!!! WHAT A DEAL! I also picked up some VERY nice kilt hose and a stuffed Heilan Coo (with ancient MacDonald scarf and hat to boot) for my 5 year old daughter.

I am grateful that these men care about what they do, and care about us (the community of Scottish culture appreciators), and are taking care of this wonderful place. If you ever need any tartan material, accessories, etc, PLEASE consider the gift shop at the Scottish Tartans Museum!

I'll be stopping in there in a few weeks, myself, when my travels will bring me to the Asheville area. Looking forward to seeing the museum.

Do you have pictures from the museum?

I haven't had the opportunity of visiting in person, but I did just order a tweed jacket and waistcoat from them. I use their website quite often, too, and really enjoy looking around. Thanks for spreading the word about this wonderful establishment.

I didn't take any pictures of the Gift Shop, but I took a BUNCH of the museum:

I took a bunch of pictures of the museum, but not the gift shop itself.

I was talking about pictures from the museum, not the gift shop.

You could always check out the museum web site.

I am a frequent patron of the STM. Matt and Ronan are always fantastic!

I took over 100 pictures. Is this an appropriate thread to post some of those pictures?
