    Membership in BOIoS

    I respectfully submit my application to join the Brotherhood Of the Isle Of Sky. This past Saturday at the pub and after my wife went home I asked Pete (MacHummel) to build me a kilt. He refused my order at least until I sobered out. Well I did sober out and ordered an 8 yard IoS in PV from Canadian Casual Kilts. This will be my first 8 yarder and will be pleated to stripe. Let the jonesing begin, now about you guys accepting me in this exclusive club...

    Welcome to the brotherhood Grant! However, your application is marked provisional until we see the photos of you wearing said kilt.
