Jock, In my opinion, I think that your inference that someone wants to dress as a CLOWN, with their choices of attire is rather rude, and takes away from what you are saying

I appreciate what you say father Bill but from my own experience, traveling about Scotland, It is extremely hard to find teachers of highland attire, even in Scotland. Most of the Kilt shops showed...

Not being from the Highlands or any where in Scotland, I don't try to dress like a Scots Highland person, to my mind that would be on the verge of wearing a costume .........JUST MY OPINION and I...

I don't always agree with what you say Jock. Being a Canadian and wearing a kilt because I want to, not wearing it to imitate a highland person, but wearing it for my own pure pleasure and for the...

I have a half dozen different colours of hose but both Mustard Yellow and Claret, are the ones I go to most often, and both are House of Cheviot Rannoch style ......I will say this also, besides the...

As has been stated many times before here, Kilts are addictive and I'm afraid I've been shifted into that addict category

I'm looking into another kilt and this time I hope I'll be able to get one...

Well spotted!! I had to look twice before I saw it ......and good on the soldier for not letting his injury hold him back......a brave fellow indeed!

Personally I really don't care if a province, state, county, or shire, wants to use an abbreviation in their naming. It isn't important unless the location is important to be identified, and if it...

Really great photos .....thanx for sharing them......I was wondering why the pleats didn't hang straight down...then I noticed the basting was still in place (thanx for the explanation)......I bet it...

I agree Oc Richard, It seems to me that it is getting quite common and getting worse on this site, that people responding to posts are reading into them or reading out of them which ever way it...

I did reply to your note of the other day ......I hope you got it......cheers

I did get a bottle of Talisker dark storm at London Heathrow, last fall, and it is a delight. I was told they re-charred the casks before using them and that accounted for the much darker colour as...

My daughter, Jess, bought me a bottle of this for the last International whisky day. I won't say I was disappointed, my favourite whiskies come from Islay......You will then gather I like lots of...

Thanx my friend, It was my wife's grandmother's ......in it's day it was nothing special just a poor family's treasure.....We had it repaired when we first got it and were told a bit about it, that...

Like my Grandfather I celebrate my birthday twice a year....My actual birthdate is Feb 12th but the weather here isn't kind enough to celebrate my birthday heartily, so I celebrate it again towards...

A Young Chinese fellow was sitting with his father one evening and the OLD MAN, noticed his son was deep in thought

What seems to be the matter number one son asked the old gentleman

Father,...

Great photo Father bill

At first I thought it might be interesting to "find out" where my physical and mental traits came from ......Just using family history I was stopped at the point my paternal grand father was adopted...

I have been waiting for a response, and so thank-you for explaining The kings mourning arm band

I may be wrong, but it appears the king is wearing a black arm band. I wonder who he is mourning

It maybe so that the Scots invented everything, but I've been told it was the Irish who invented the wheel barrow..............for the express purpose to teach the Scots to stand on their hind legs...

I got all kilted up this afternoon and stopped at the nursery not far from my house, before walking about the town centre. I stopped at two of my favourite shops to share a wee dram of Laphroaig's...

Well I'm about to set off for a bit of a walk about in the town centre of our small town, I wonder how many kilts I'll see?. .......I've got a few particular shop keepers to visit and I have a dram...

All I type in is postimg in Google........ Then I click on the first heading and it takes me to the postimg page that asks to choose an image and then "onward"
I suppose at one time I may have...

One of the things I always enjoyed about this site was the photos, both posting and viewing. I never used photo bucket but I did have a time when sometimes I could post a photo from my computer, and...
