They are very special to me, not an easy chore to locate a complete set these days. Ede and Ravenscroft have a number of sets reserved for Lord High Sheriff ceremonial dress and will not part with...

The sleeve on the right belongs to a balmoral type doublet made by William Anderson in 1958 for an uncle. The buttons are riveted cut steel buttons that came from one of the great-grandfathers court...

I watched that auction Peter, lovely piece. You can tell that whoever made that sporran took time to choose the optimal piece of sealskin for the front panel. There some gems that appear from time to...

There are 4 with gauntlet cuffs in my collection, two tweed day jackets and 2 velvet evening jackets. The two tweed jackets and the 1 velvet argyle jacket with piping on the cuff date from the...

Richard I think you are correct, it looks like it was stitched on top of the original sporran front. If you look closely at some of the pictures you can see the edge of the sealskin and stitching,...

GrayTweed Braemar style jacket in 42R. The jacket is in excellent condition and only worn 3 times, 100% wool. I have two other tweed argyle jackets and this one doesn’t get out enough, time to cull...

Didn’t the Gordon’s wear a plain white plume on the feather bonnet? I don’t recall a red flash at the base.

I have three late Victorian (c.1875) stag leg kilt pins. Two have smokey quartz hooves while the third is plain silver, this one was a recent acquisition. All are hollow cast sterling silver and...

Well done and keep at, you look amazing! Weight loss is a daily battle but be encouraged thinking about the all new kilts in your future.

The eagle may appear similar to American depictions of the same era perhaps, but the pattern on the shield makes me think that's about where it ends! The pattern gives the impression of a more...

Welcome to the world of the retired, may you enjoy it as much as I have!

You could try this place in Toronto, if anyone would have it on this side of the pond it would be these folks: http://www.cheeseboutique.com/
They can tell you if they have it or can source it and...

I agree with Jock, the funds go to a very good cause and the ABF tie is distinct and easily identifiable. As well, the wearing of the ABF tie by X-markers may benefit the charity and xmarksthescot in...

East Coasters are some of the friendliest people there are!
Blessed with a wonderfully dry humour as well.

There is a pub located in the Historic Properties along the waterfront named the "Lower Deck" that on Saturday afternoons has some very good music and laughs with local performers. The locals are a...

Personally I'm not a fan of mixing military with civilian dress and have never really understood the desire to do so.

There are a number of other Canadian regiments, although not Highland regiments, that have pipe bands who wear red/white dicing to further complicate matters.
