It IS a great place! Go and enjoy!

I didn't see it anywhere else in the thread, but I seem to recall from one source or another modern English being described as a very formal language, in that it no longer has a familiar form, forms...

Sounds great! Please share pictures at any stage!

Okay, I'll say it. Mead-makers are 'mazers.' I've made a few meads, but prefer mine very dry and sparkling, like a brut champagne made with honey instead of grapes: the exact opposite of still and...

Nice tartan, and Pennsylvania is where I was born! But, I have another tartan in mind for the next available must-have moment (Cumming Hunting Modern), so this one will have to go on the back burner...

I think it's a kilt apron, such as this one (though it's not pictured on the site). Search some of the photo galleries containing WWI kilted troops, and I'm sure you'll find some pictured.

This past Saturday, I was fortunate enough to see the National Theatre of Scotland's production of "Black Watch" by Gregory Burke at the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington, DC., at the end of...

Here's to you!

Looking good! I hope to slim down out of my kilts myself: it's the best problem I think I could have, if I get to choose!

Well done! Those auctions can be hard to resist (initially and in-progress), but you've got a great kilt to show for it, congratulations!

I've always liked the looks of the pens that Levenger sells, but I haven't bought from them in years. Now I'm in need of a way to clean the two fountain pens I have. Any suggestions?

Very nice. I especially like the first pic with the running knotwork. Though on a windy day, the second would help hold down the apron front for sure.

Love it!

I echo the Great Lakes recommendation. Their Dortmunder Gold is outstanding (as are most of their beers as well). Here's what's on tap. Great Lakes is right across the street from the West Side...

Lookin' good, Frank! Please drive your new vehicle to the next MD/VA/PA kilt outing. Is there a 'hers' model as well?

No plans that I know of, but I'd be game for an after-work kilt happy hour! May I suggest the meeting at the Capitol Brewing Company Postal Square (at Union Station Metro)? Say 5pm? It's close to...

hooray!

one of the keys to Scotch or Scottish ale is that it is very LOW in hops -- just enough to cut the sweetness at whatever level of the malt. I've heard from at least one Scottish brewer that the...

Here's a great resource I no longer use as much as I once did when I was just starting out homebrewing: Cat's Meow on the Brewery at HBD.org. There's also this page for when you need your next mead...

and to all a good night!

I'll be there, but as I'm dragging the family (well, at least my wife... who tolerates, but really :roll: about the kilts), I think we'll just watch. Is there a place in Old Town where members of...

Just wondering if anyone from MD/DC/VA was headed to the Scottish Christmas Walk in Old Town Alexandria, VA on Saturday.

Let me know if I might see you there: I'm thinking about taking the family,...

That's great! It sure looks like you put a lot of research into it. It might be instructive for the forum to share/cite your research. Thanks for sharing your great photos.

Looking good! I like where it's going. It'd be great to have tartan on the pockets in back as well as the sleeves. I'd be fine with some tartan on the bottom of the front panel as well, or could...

I'd be interested to see where this goes. Having seen the tarten cycling shorts in another thread, I think I'd put my vote in for a tartan jersey (or a jersey with some tartan on it).
