You chaps are almost talking a foreign language! That’s fine, you enjoy what you enjoy. Purely out of interest, is morse code still used?

As I don't have an artistic mind I had no conception or expectation of how the newly discovered tartan might have turned out when re-produced, but somehow I am rather disappointed with the result.

date letter
It is relatively easy to date and even identify the maker of British silver, just look for the hallmarks stamped on the individual pieces, for example each silver link on a chain will...

I think most within the Uk would understand the intended meaning of the word in general conversation, without a second thought. :wink:

In my long experience of the Scottish Highlands and admittedly shorter but fairly extensive visits to the Hebrides the two places do not compare in almost every way. In my experience there are great,...

Do I detect a hint of boredom within the story setting in? I am not surprised, a couple of weeks out there fishing is enough for me! :lol:

Not in the least, but “Happy New Year” usually suffices these days.:)

Tartans are like defining "beauty" and there will be many conflicting thoughts on the matter. However, I am afraid that I can't raise much enthusiasm for any of the tartans shown above.

A light-weight, mild patterned, tattersall shirt might be worth a thought? They go with almost any event that is not formal. Just so you know, should you be thinking along the more traditional route...

I am sad to report the death of Donald Cameron of Lochiel, 27th Chief of Clan Cameron who passed away on the 20th October 2023.
His son Donald, is following on from his father as the 28th Lochiel...

I think if the advertiser clearly mentions "OFFCUTS" then it does clearly imply rather more than on piece. :wink:

Or more correctly:What are offcuts?
Imagine a kilt maker takes a length of tartan to make a kilt? Say, for example, 9 yards. The remaining bits of cloth, from that 9 yards, after the kilt...

I suppose if the Prince was appointed as a Colonel-in-Chief of a kilted Scottish Regiment he would then wear the kilt.

Well done Peter, it is a lovely tartan. Although to my eye, I would prefer the King to wear the Balmoral tartan.

I have absolutely, positively and definitely nothing further to say on the matter! Although in passing, I am told that I made quite a lot of noise, a wee time after the bomb went...
