Matt Newsome in the Tartan Herald

Congrats to Matt Newsome who has an article in this month's "Tartan Herald". For those not familiar, the Tartan Herald is the monthly newsletter/paper put out by the Scottish Tartans Authority for their members.

If you're a member, you can read it here:

If you're not a member, I'm not sure if you can view it or not... I hope you can.

It's not protected, so it should load; in fact, you can right-click the link Rocky provided and choose "Save as ..." and save it to your computer, to read again and again and again.

Thanks for posting this. I also found the short story about the national tartan register initiative interesting.

Good article. I was testing some threads the other day and they turned out to be pure acrylic (not what the seller advertised at all). That stuff burns furiously, producing a loud sizzling/popping sound. The photos in the newsletter are awesome, but the sound of that burning kilt must have been truly startling. Acrylic kilts and campfires...not a good combination.

There is wisdom and much practical advice in Matt's article for someone just becoming kilted. Thanks for sharing, Rocky.
