Thanks for sharing Richard.

I prefer the older styles, so it's always nice to see the old photos, catalogs, etc., that you share.

Having been away from the forum for some time, and having spent some time on a completely unrelated forum. I did notice something a bit odd. The "Aye" feature is turned off for posts over a certain...

Well TD, as a forum moderator representing xmarks, and the correct opinion is to highlight concerns; the reason I felt it prudent to mention a happy Canada Day, as there have been many Church's...

This is why politics is verboten on the forum. One persons context, is not the same as another. Context is dependent on what two different people have seen of the facts and evidence; what has been...

Thanks for the comments Glenn. I avoided this for the fact that there is alot of politics wrapped up in this. From a civic virtue, point of view, I wanted to do nothing more than wish a happy Canada...

Whilst what you said is true, if one stayed on topic, a new post could have been created. As misfortune and celebration can be mutually exclusive. Otherwise, any celebratory event could descend into,...

As the title states, Happy Canada Day.

To be fair, the Scots chosen are from a war painting from the 1700's, and everything else is a modren photograph. If he wanted to, OCR could have chosen a colour photo from any of the large balls,...

Use tineye.com for photo searches. Great site! I've been using it for years.

Any kilt maker should be able to do this. The important part is ensuring correct re-measurements. I had mine done, the shop I purchased it from, re-measured, and sent it back to Lochcarron, as they...

Great photo. I am fond of a full-mask sporran.

No photo. If you contact the mods they can help.

Truer words.

The man in the mirror is the only one who needs to be pleased. Thanks for sharing your unique evening jacket with us.

I wonder how accurate some of the handed down lore is. His eyes may have been as blue as a clear sky, but every photograph of the man, while young enough not to be grey, show a man with very dark...

Nice sporran. Looks great!

Frank

Photo is there, device maybe?

This was just before last Christmas, and the Con-Cor cars I had ordered just got in. I had to see my small set together.

Frank

Thanks, the tablet had it the wrong way around.. I figured someone on a PC would correct it before someone hurt themselves turning their monitor :wink:

Frank

That's a hobby I wish I had room for. I set up a small track every Christmas around the tree. Nothing too large. I do have plans for a tresseled layout, I may get around to next year.

In my own opinion, the current "issue" has become political, as much as it anything else these days; for some right reasons, and some wrong. And because of this, many people have retreated inwards....

Being as what you want a non-regulation regulation, you need to remember, this isn't like building a Colonial blaster.

Nice picture, and not to be disagreeable, but iconic, is a strong word with a very particular meaning.

When I think Christmas and tartan, I think Walker's shortbread tins; which I believe are...

Not a fan. The whole point of a tartan is recognition; a visual que. The Logan tartan, as it is, listed as "modren" was first recorded by James Logan in his work The Scottish Gael in 1831.

I...

This is also a perfect demonstration of regarding the membership as a collective based on which side of the Atlantic they hail from. I prefer to treat individuals with their agency intact, regardless...
