There are different types of hair that grow from different people's faces, in fact the hair in my beard and mustache is remarkably different from the (remaining) hair on my head; the former being...

Burns Dinner, St. Andrews Society, Sacramento, California, Jan 19, 2019.

Brown is a sept of Clan Douglas, which is mostly the southwest of Scotland, somewhere about Dumfries, south of Glasgow, and the central lowlands (see Douglas, UK). That knowledge might be of some...

I've never eaten in a restaurant in Scotland that I didn't like. I most often ate the venison and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, so was happy just about everywhere. The ales, lagers, and...

Yes, nice to meet you, and look forward to the Woodland (Sacramento) games. Kilt night out sounds like a good idea. Sacramento area works better for me, but I don't know how many of the rabble are...

Wife and I will be there. We plan to attend the renewal of wedding vows event. Our Clan Douglas tent won't be there, so not sure where we'll hang out. I will be marching with SAMS, but won't hang...

Very happy for all the Buchanans! We of Clan Douglas have two gentlemen- to my understanding- that could claim the Chief title, but they both defer to each other for various reasons, so still no...

I've spent much time near Huy (Liege) in the past and would have loved to join you had you decided to do this 10-20 years ago! Sadly, I no longer have reason to be in Huy. I will toast you and your...

My wife and I are always there. We help at the Douglas tent, my granddaughter dances (though not this year due to family trip), and this year I will be helping out in the SAMS (Scottish American...

I've seen games in this area of California take a hiatus for a year, or even two, and then come back to life. Maybe Kerr County can manage it, as well. I have been active in the games' committee of...

Very interesting and accurate point. My sons and I wear the kilt to celebrate, and perpetuate, our Scottish heritage- the kilt, because it's an iconic symbol of Scotland. My ancestors were...

These are my five "tattersall" shirts. Only one or two of these would fit the more precise definition, but I find that they all go well with certain kilted outfit combinations, particularly while...

Enlargements attached, 2X and 3X. They look small here (not sure why they won't show at full size), but if you click on them they will show at full size in another window. The enlargements are a...

After thinking this over very carefully, and weighing all options, I believe there is only one thing you can do here that will certainly make you happy....................




Buy another kilt!...

I'm not sure if anyone noticed that if one scrolls down to "Item description" then click on the box "See full item description" there are 9 photos, most of them close-ups, and a view of the reverse...

Thanks! Your entire post is very clear, and informative.

Good thinking. I'll suggest that.

I assumed kiltmakers would be the most knowledgeable on this topic. The wife of a cousin wants to surprise her hubby with his first "real" kilt. He has a Sport Kilt (velcro, no straps), and I...

My contribution to San Diego Games photos. Myself with my granddaughter (highland dancer showing off her medals won earlier in the day) and my wife. Sorry, no fun athletics photos as interesting as...

Sticky Toffee Pudding. I had forgotten how good it was on prior visits, and on my last trip in 2014 I became somewhat addicted to it, and whenever we ate out (most evenings) I had to order it for...

Why do I have the funny feeling that the kilt is not of wool, but crafted from an old bed spread! :lol:

(Just kidding....looks nice to me.)

That's great to hear. I have been unable to contact him, so thought he may have retired from doing freelance tailoring.

My granddaughter has been dancing there since its inception a couple years ago, so we always go. I'll look you up to say hi.

Would you mind mentioning to your son that I am looking for a "semi-dress" sporran? :lol:

Well, those are the games that I must work at, so I'll be busy, but when out and around I'll be at the Douglas tent like Richrail, or at Nevada Society of Scottish Clans tent to see if they have any...
