Well done Oessant (Ushant)!

Another beautiful Breton tartan to Jones over!

Good for them. I think that they may be well advised to loose those ties though.

Yes, I read this in The Tartan Herald online magazine.
I just love loud, flashy tartans...

Ouessant is a gorgeous island in Brittany (France).
I have a piping friend who goes there every summer with his wife.


Best,
