Not at all, don't worry. I just tried to say that I agree on this.

According to PayScale, the average UK salary is around £30'000. So a week's wages is £576 or 780 USD. If we now assume a kilt...

I do not view the economic value as trivial.

My 13-20$ figure was erroneously based on average weaver's salaries in the UK. Of course a highly skilled craftsman (EDIT: as in "someone who weaves...

I think (but don't know) you would have to correct your assumption to something more on the lines of 13-20$ per hour.

Did they, by any chance, mistake Burberry's "Nova Check" for the Balmoral?

Don't forget 'dinner jacket' or just 'dj' which are just as, or even more common.

PM me if you want me to put it on my private web server.

Are you sure it's wool or silk?

Thanks for this insight, Jock.

Although I don't understand why in each and every "How to tip in Scotland" thread on the entire interwebs you read stuff like "and one for yourself". Might that be...

Thanks Hirsty

We'll make shure to visit some good pubs and bars while in Edinburgh.

I doubt, however, that we'll make it to Dumfriesshire this time though. The highlands are calling and, as...

Thanks John

This is exactly why we try to get as many suggiestions from either real Scots or people who have real experience with Sctoland.

Travel guides can only tell you so much. In my...

Thanks for all the suggestions. We'll try and have dinner at Inverlochy Castle Hotel. I had no idea the Roux are cooking there.

I researched travel expenses a little and came up with a figure of...

Thanks for mentioning the tattoo fflex. That's definitely something we have to consider. They seem to have pretty nice packages available too...

The wife and I (32 and 33 years old) are starting to plan our honeymoon in Scotland. We'll be there for three weeks during the summer (starting mid-July).

Since it's our first time and time is...

This does indeed help, thank you very much.

It gives me confidence, that my kilt is at least somewhat meeting certain quality requirements. I wouldn't have expected anything else from a HoE kilt,...

How far should you be able to move the straps and still have some layers of tartan to stitch through on a crappy vs. well made vs. high end kilt? Is there supposed to be any difference on the better...

It's done... I hemmed the inverted pleat practically the same way as it had already been done by HoE on the left hand side of the apron. It's now nicely tucked away under the apron.

I also tried...

Thanks again Barb, you're a gem!

Never in a million years would I have considered stitching the inverted pleat together. This is why it's good to ask someone who knows what they are doing...

Thanks Barb

Yes, it is about the inverted pleat. Because the under apron is pulled further to the left the inverted pleat gets pulled open, bulging under the apron over my right knee. I'm going to...

Hello Barb

I recently lost some weight and thus moved the buckles (around 4") on my wedding kilt following your instructions here:...
