Paisley Kilt at Housing Assoc. Conference Peebles Hydro
First opportunity to photograph the Paisley tartan 17oz 8 yard kilt in daylight during lunchbreak at the Housing Association Conference. I am a board member of a charitable housing association which provides houses to tenants at affordable rents and today was our Conference at Peebles Hydro followed by Christmas dinner.
The venue was Peebles Hydro, a 129 bedroom four star hotel built in 1881.

Wow! What a fantastic hotel. That's one place where the rent definitely does not look affordable.  I'm officially jealous. The kilt looks great, too.

Wonderful location Alex, thank you for the excellent photos.

Alex,
Nice tartan. Nice hotel as well. Reminds me a bit of some of the Canadian hotels...
