    Kilt's away!!

    Well that's it after much deliberating and fussing and of course with the permission of the currant Mrs Rsv! I've pulled the trigger on a new kilt, this time in a Harris tweed material(which looks like the army style 22oz rather than the smooth mass produced cloth of today) Isle of Skye tartan, Many thanks to Chris at Dunadd for putting me on to it and many many thanks in anticipation go to Frances at Redshank kilts who answered all my daft questions over the phone and sealed the deal before the vat mans rise of 2.5%

    I will of course post up picture as soon as the kilt arrives, which will be mid Feb but I'm not counting

    Well done, RSV. It seems we will be posting pictures at about the same time.
    Regards,
