Happy birthday, Steve. And prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Meal do naidheachd!

Currently, I use my Campbell Ancient, but plan on eventually moving to the German Heritage tartan for my Christmas tartan

My littlest little sent me Talisker 18 for my birthday. This has been one of my favorites, though my go to is Laphroaig. The inside lid of the Talisker box is stamped with the bottled date ... mine...

Christmas gift from my daughter who loves her papa:
Laphroaig Lore.

Aye. And Canada also offers opportunities, as well.

Tobus ... thank you for the link. I’ve been using the Learn Gaelic website and “Speaking our Language” ... Duolingo is a nice add on for learning.

Not nearly as peaty or smoky as Love from Islay, but in the words of Iain McArther, it’s just lovely. Popped the cork with my littlest little and my...

Awesome. I’ll have to download the pdf for the updates; but I love my copy and the ability to lay it down open.

So to understand, or clarify what you have here:
1. I am assuming that this is an in-pleated, single piece of tartan?
2. The pleats are formed by the folds you form, leaving an unpleated (or...

I’m going to have to add her to my watch list ... first found her when I saw her video of Lon-Dubh.

I wonder if the movie will include the bits where the Bruce tried to expunge William Wallace from Scottish history ...

Here’s a more detailed account of the history:

Hey Barb

I’m currently gearing up for Kilt Kamp 2020, working through your book ... page 60 thus far. Only a couple points I’m not completely clear on, but I’ve every confidence you’ll set me...

Steve

Thank you. That’s a lot to consider. But yes, my first kilt will be a traditional, natural waist build. But I can see that it is quite likely that my first kilt camp will be followed by a...

The first one I build will be 16oz wool. But I do plan on using Marton Mills PV as well.

I picked up an assortment of needles and thread this weekend, cut up a pair of denim shorts that will never, ever again fit me, and began pushing needle through fabric. First just trying to get the...

I hope that wasn’t my thumb. Since I began the post, I just now tried to vote 5* ... then I got a message that I already voted and cannot change my previous vote. Odd, I don’t remember voting on this...

Steve and Barb

Thank you both. I’ll have to ponder a bit to see which way to go. I did eventually find a very thorough machine tutorial that Steve had posted. If I go machine, I may have found...

Hi Barb

I realize step 1 is reading cover to cover TAoK. I will handle that bit of business shortly. I also plan to attend kilt camp 2020 for my 60th birthday. I understand that I can hand sew a...

I want to just give a shout out to USAK on their casual Kilts. I began my kilted Christmas with a road trip nearly half way across the country; nearly 16 hours of travel time, with time out for...

I called and spoke with Hazel about these last year, as I agree they looked quite good; I believe I saw Argyll wearing a pair with his Campbell. At that time, last January, there were none in the...

I have both versions. Only started to use the a little as I’m still working to understand proper pronunciation; so audio is helping most right now, but the graphic novel will help with more common...

Seriously? Port is already fortified with brandy 😂

I was a Port drinker myself,...
