Is it possible to register as a band?

Welcome. My MacFarlane ancestors were weavers in the Glasgow area up until the 1870s when my great grands emigrated to western Pennsylvania.

My Internet went wonky when I tried replying last night. Richard’s second post addresses my main point which is the difference in chanters. When I purchased a set of the common stock/Northumbrian...

Here’s a follow up question: groups here and elsewhere have banded together to do a custom order—- is that an option at Marton Mills??

The state of Michigan tartan is pretty rare. I would be...

No mask and kilt pics, but the Clark/Clergy tartan in the OP inspired me to share this pic of me doing pipes around the world on Sunday....

I can't help you with the comparison. I picked up a used Stumptown kilt from another member here and while I like it, I don't wear it very often. Surprisingly, I find it needs more maintenance than...

Loch Sloy!

Is the bagpipe piece functional or just a nicknack?

I’m glad to see this post pop up again. I remember it from my first “binge reading” of XMTS back in 2012. You are in many ways the epitome of the board, from the can do/make do spirit of this first...

Mine are on their way.

Get those orders in gentlemen, the exchange rate is excellent right now.
£48.55=$63.46

Do some searching on XMTS. There was a photo a couple years back of a piper in solo competition with ancient colors MacFarlane and a Lovett green tweed jacket. I believe the St. Louis Caledonian Pipe...

I've been obsessing over these since you posted the pictures on the clan Facebook page. I'm emailing her tonight....I need those socks! ;-) Loch Sloy!

Ditto. I love mine and she’ll be happy to work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

I found your side-by-side pictures a good illustration of the often cited principle of not being too "matchy-matchy" and that we should treat the kilt differently than other garments. Both kilts look...

Seriously people! Only one picture?

Richard-

Are you familiar with the Internet Archive — http://www.archive.org ?
i would think they would be interested in your collection of photos and catalogs. It would be great to have them all...

This is is actually a really good analogy. When I’m not piping, my other musical obsession is the Grateful Dead (and yes, I’ve worn a kilt to Dead related shows). Before the late 1970s, there was...

Patrick,

I sense you are trying to reach out and find like-minded folks. It sounds like you’ve looked around XMTS enough to get a sense of what’s here. I would propose that this particular post...

...and spats!

You are fortunate to have choices.

There are two points I feel qualified to make. First as a teacher I will say that while moving is tough, at 2nd and 6th grade, they should adjust pretty well....

Thank you....passing along.

This would be a good addition to your "Ten Looks......" series

Is anyone familiar with this print of a gathering of the clans, probably late 1800s, and possibly...

Send me a PM and I'll shoot you some photos. I have both a brown and a black I don't use. The brown is a Celtic Croft purchase.

The Amazon hose are sold by Matt Newsome....you should email him. I recently needed a House of Cheviot item that wasn't listed and he was able to arrange it.
