    A few new accessories

    At Fergus on the weekend I was lucky enough to receive a new Dress Belt and Sporran Strap from Robert at RKilts from a contest that was going on Robert thank you again for your generosity. I also picked up a Harris Tweed Flap cap, an Arran Sweater(not pictured) that came in handy with the cold, and a Crommach I've always wanted one of these but normally the price seemed a bit much. Suffice to say I am very happy with the purchases even though the weather was not the best.
    Here are some photos

    Harris Tweed Flap cap. Good choice.

    The Clan motto is translated Never Forget. The buckle was mine I purchased it from Steve at Oconee Leather Works

    Yes indeed they were from the London Trading Post they really have wonderful stuff and were trying to get rid of all the sweaters so they were selling them for $30.00 a piece, I think everyone in our group bought one.
