| | | Gordon Ancient from Scotweb
It just occurred to me that I never posted any pictures of the new kilt I got from Scotweb. It's one of their Balmoral 8 yd kilts in Gordon Clan Ancient, 13 oz. Here are a couple of pics I just shot tonight to show it off. I did wear this to our local Burns night supper and will probably be wearing it when I march in the St. Pats parades in Memphis and Huntsville.

That's a lovely looking kilt and I like the higher rise particularly. I've had both my customs made with a slightly higher rise than the standard 24". I'm a fairly tall bloke and it looks much better in my opinion.

Great looking kilt, and a nice shirt, I was wearing my shirt today as well.

A very nice kilt. I'm finding that I am partial to ancient variants of tartans.
BTB I spotted a couple of things of interest on the bookshelf as well...Narnia, HALO, Indiana Jones, and most definitely can't go wrong having a Chilton's handy.

I've got a couple of other well stocked shelves around the house and a few boxes full of books that I need to do something with.
Thanks for the compliments everyone. I personally think it's a very good looking kilt.
