    It looks really good Ron - if I wore my kilt to work, a lot would be said!

    I'm with Dread. I would love to see it with Red hose and shirt.

    I disagree, if Ron was to wear red the school yard bullies might pick on him and comparing him to a certain fast food spokes-clown of similar name!

    I'm pretty sure there are no lights in Scottish lighthouses. Just a man at the top wearing a Loud MacLeod.

    Isn't the Barclay tartan the same as the Mcleod of Lewis minus the red stripe?

    Cheers

    I do believe it is. A friend of mine is a Barkley and cannot stand the tartan. I'm trying to find a weathered one for her in the hope she'll manage to get over to America for my wedding and wear it.


    Ron, you look absolutely great in that kilt. You are one of those people who are just a credit to kilt-wearers everywhere because you always look good.

    Actually the variant you want is called Barclay Dress Muted. The modern and ancient variants are still to bright for my taste. The modern looks like neon yellow. And the Barclay sett is much simpler. But it does get confused with the "Loud MacLeod" all the time.

    Ron,

    I guess everyone is just used to seeing you in a kilt that the shock factor is gone. Even for the "Loud MacLeod".

    I know how you feel about invisible. I never get asked for a picture or anything. However, if I am with another kiltie they invariablly do, and usually by a nice looking female or 2. I don't get included in the picture! meh!

    Congrats on the kilt! It looks great and is definitely on my list. I know 2 guys with a kilt in this tartan, and I gotta admit I like it. Not sure what my wife thinks...
