It is with extreme sadness that I have to post this today, but my dear friend, Chris Taylor-Balls, know at XMTS as Redshank, passed away on September 4. As you might recall many, here, of the rabble,...

Steve, welcome to old! It happens, unfortunately! We're the same age but, to be honest, I don't feel old upstairs. I only feel old when I get up in the morning and feel all the aches and pains, also...

Wonderful pictures!! It brings back many memories from my trip to Scotland, summer 2013. Unfortunately, I did not make the border area. However, I had the pleasure of visiting Dunfermline and all it...

The kilt has SOLD!!!!!

Mods, I'm going to list this on Ebay, seeing that I have had no inquiries. I was going to wait two weeks but have changed my mind. Thanks!

Hello ramble! Thought I'd post this here before going to Ebay. I do hope it can get a ncie home from a forum member, though.

This is a kilt that I purchased from the family of Retro Red, a...

Wonderful looking kilt!

I have a kilt in the MacDonagh. I wish there was more information on it, but what is listed below is what Peter MacDonald had told me, sometime ago, via PM. Not much is know about this Irish tartan....

Hey Colin, you did well. Gaining a PhD is no easy task. So I congratulate you on all the hard work!!

My son, Colin, received his PhD two years ago, so I know what it takes to get through an...

I agree 100%!!!!!

Congratulations! It must feel wonderful. :clap:

My day arrives, hopefully, in December!???

Personally, I thought all those places of interest looked wonderful. In fact, I visited some of them, also. I guess there's truth in the old saying: beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

OK, call it what it is. I use this for day dress most of the time, with a few variations.

I had the opportunity to vist in July, 2013. It was a beautiful day to visit the center and peruse the sacred grounds. I spent about an hour there, but I really needed 4-5. Walking through the...

The rear view of the weathered Robertson: I have no idea who made this kilt, which I've sold to and Xmember in New England. The fabric seemed to be 11oz., and I have absolutely no idea as to what...

Sorry, but I'm not going to be much help, here. But, if you decide to go the modern route, here's what it'll look like. This is 16 oz. by Marton Mills. Good luck with whatever you choose. Either way,...

My wife in her Muir Tartan

So many great pics of Christmas colors. Well, Christmas has come and gone, but keep those tartans coming! And thanks to all that responded to this thread. And YOU have a Happy New Year!

Ha, ha, is this your better half, Freddie??

Bonnie, awesome looking kilt! You're gonna make someone a very happy camper! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Julia, being and Elliott, I hope you noticed the one Santa pic that has the Elliott clan in the background, on the left. In fact, Bill Elliot is standing right next to it. Bill came up to PA from VA...

One more day until Christmas. And here's another pic of the Christmas Santas, and gang, at the Ligonier, PA Highland Games:http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac63/denmcdough/100_1442.jpg

Christmas...

Bonnie, wow, another gorgeous kilt. And nice Christmas colors! Don't worry about the pic being too big, as I rather prefer it that way. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful Christmas! I hope...

OK Rabble, only 5 more days till Christmas, so there has to be more of you with Christmasy colored kilts to show. How about the Santas, Wally and Kona? Any pics from you?

One more snow shot. This was from a year or two ago. So, I'm wishing for a white Christmas this year, which, at this point, seems unlikely. I have hope!
