The annual San Antonio Highland Games & Celtic Music Festival is this weekend, April 6th and 7th.

I won't be attending this year. With the eclipse happening on Monday...

I've only done one custom mill run as an individual (others were co-ordinated through a kiltmaker). It was my experience that the larger mills prefer not to deal with individuals. If they'll even...

Uh, I would suggest referring to it as the "Peat Bog Tartan" just to be a bit more clear. In the UK, "bog" is slang for the toilet.

I'm not sure that the definition of Tattersall is limited to two colours. I Googled around, and it appears that virtually everyone describes it as either "2 to 3" or "2 or more" colours. And I have...

Yeah, apparently I can't post a photo in a reply. But I can reply, and then edit the post to add the photo. Bizarre.
Anyway, here's a pile of kilt offcuts that I mentioned earlier. Unless the...

The seller would need to clarify in this case, but the term may also include those portions of the pleats that are cut out around the waist (above the fell line) to reduce bulk. It's common for...

*nevermind. Saw that this was posted in another forum.*

In most of the USA (where much of our law comes from English common law), there is such thing as a common law marriage. If two people agree to be married, represent themselves to others as being...

Perhaps further information could come from the chevrons on his sleeves. Again, I'm no expert, but the internet says that the single chevron on his right upper arm denotes him as lance corporal. ...

You may also be able to help pin him down by the medals/campaign ribbons he's wearing. I'm no expert, but you can look here for some help:...

This is not the photo you're referencing, and I don't know what year it's from, but ...blanket pins indeed.

Distaff, I get your frustration. Though I've only been knitting a short time, and am a few years younger than you (I'll be 49 in a couple of weeks), I've had a bit of the same issue in finding good...

Actually, I'd be interested in your thoughts on that.

Were it me, I'd be taking it out of the frame to see if there is any additional info hidden, like the artist's name, a date, or anything else.

I'm of no use for identifying any of it, but I do find the headdress details interesting. It looks like red/white/green around the headband, and it's not really dicing where the colours alternate...

Well, that's why I put the "supposedly" in my statement. Grain of salt and all.
I looked at the paintings they referenced in that pattern, and it does seem to be pretty accurate on all the...

:lol::lol::lol: One of my favourite movies of all time! I can't hear that name without hearing this in my head (in the voice of Andre the Giant, of course):
"I am the Dread Pirate Roberts. There...

I'm sure the Hollywood interpretation is a fanciful combination of details from many different centuries and regions. Long before I took up wearing the kilt, my wife had made me a shirt from a...

My first thought would be that it's not too different, in terms of sett logistics, as the Stewart Hunting tartan used in military kilts. It has alternating yellow and red stripes which make the sett...

To be fair, the Scottish government and the entire wool/tartan industry spend a lot of time and money to market tartan to the world, showcasing wild new tartan designs in every extreme fashion...

Richard, they're naming the festival that because the park at which it's being held has a (somewhat cheesy) replica of Stonehenge.

My wife saw this in our local news. I had no idea. They say it's the 2nd annual festival, which means they must have had it last year as well.
This is at...

They do have quite a lot of variation in their kit. If you search online for images of them, you'll see some plaids that are old and faded right next to others that are new, and the same with their...

The Atholl Highlanders wear a lovely marled red hose with simple ribbed cuff.

Each person's stats (on the right side of the page next to every post) has a function to count how many threads they've been tagged in. Apparently it doesn't work, because we just saw Jock Scot get...
