Baird’s a delightful guy. Fr Tom who took the band under his wing gave me a beautiful St Edmund’s kilt.

I’ll have a St Andrew’s dinner at my house with former parishioners.

Truly beautiful, Peter. Thanks for doing this and for sharing it with us.

Prayers for her soul and the consolation of the grieving loved ones.

ARGH.....

A few months ago I would have snatched this up, Richard. Such a beautiful kilt and the pleating on yours is nicer than the one they did for me. I appreciate the subtlety vertical brown...

I've also seen pictures of soldiers in my uncle's regiment (Essex Scottish) in WW2 who had braces on their kilts. One of my kilts, from a more generous iteration of my past self, requires braces.

Brilliant sounding pipe band! It's a shame they're not together (my own selfish first reaction to their demise) although, they've got to do what they think best, of course.
