Thank you for the info. I am in fact in search of a used Saffron Kilt and thought I would check with the Rabble to see if anyone had thoughts of selling one.

I am looking to buy a Saffron Kilt. Sizes - 40-42" waist - 22-24" drop.

Looking back I can laugh at all the "Basic Training" imaginative practices we endured in the first couple of months after induction. The first billet I was assigned to was called Napier Barracks, it...

As a young Jock/squaddie in the oh so distant past, we polished EVERYTHING including our "gutties" (plimsoles/sandshoes) even the soles of our leather brogues. As for Dubbin, we used to keep hidden...

Ammo boots were notorious for killin yer feet until broke in. It's the double sometimes triple soles. What I and most everyone I know did was to put on a good pair of woolen socks and put on the...

I have to concur with Jock about catalogues. The first time I recall seeing any kind of clothing catalogue was a visit to the city mainland and that was if I remember correctly Littlewoods Store. ...

As a former member of the R.H.F. which was the amalgamation of HLI and RSF the writer is correct in stating that Light Infantry march at a different pace than most other Regiments, especially when...

As a former serving member of a Scottish Regt I have always taken pride in being identified as a Jock. If you could only understand what it meant to me to hear soldiers from other than Scottish...

A great look. I really like that jacket and waistcoat. I hope you both had a great time.

Now that is what I call a pair of Hose, rather spiffy.

Just a heads-up about the Tacoma Games that are being held at the Pierce County Fairgrounds TOMORROW June 22nd in Puyallup WA.
Are there any members on this side of the Mountain thinking of...

Good looking kit. Do they still ask this question "What is a woc??" answer- "Something you throw at a wabbitt".

I ONLY referenced the 71st of Foot, and was NOT SPECIFICALLY claiming that Regiment was the forefather to the subsequent Amalgamations. I DID HOWEVER, directly reference ASSAYE which clearly...

Nice to see a acknowledgement of the 71st of foot. As a past member of the RHF which was the amalgamation of the 71st + 74th (1881) to become the HLI with a further amalgamation with the RSF, to...

The gentleman on the left looks like Joe Hubble, WOII Black Watch Retd, and the one in the middle looks familiar too, I just can't put a name to him( I haven't seen either of them in 40+yrs).

As a former member of a Scottish Regt now amalgamated(@#@#@), the Plt Sgt of our AP's was the only one allowed to have a beard without a medical excuse. Heck, if we wanted to grow a moustache we had...

Any soldier past or present who has performed Guard Duty at "The Castle", will definitely know who and why Margaret is significant.

With boots I prefer the Hose up look. If I am just gallivanting around town and am wearing a pullover or waistcoat, I often wear ankle boots. When I go Trail walks or Hiking I add Puttees to my rig...

You might want to try The Celtic Croft, which is a Advertiser here on the site.

A smart looking outfit Jim, although I think I might have gone with a shirt in a shade of grey (just my thruppence worth). Hope all is well with you & yours.

Perhaps if one of you gentlemen who own a ABF Tie would post a photo, then those in the market for one can adjudicate if it is the tie for them. Of course purchasing information would also be...

The photos brought back many memories of Auld Reekie and my time stationed at Redford and The Castle. Your commentary was sour grapes to my ears. As my mother used to say, "if you have nothing good...

This is one of my favorite go-to Games of the year. The music is always brilliant, the competitions draw a broad spectrum of athletes and of course,
the opportunity to sit and share a nippy sweetie...

Thank you gentlemen for imparting your wisdom and life experiences to us. I never tire of learning something new from the collected and vast knowledge that is available to us here on the Forum. ...

I was married in the Old City of Jerusalem near the Wall in 1979. I was serving with a multi-national force in the region. The church was Arab Christian run by priests in a Italian monastic order. ...
