The Ordnance Survey produce the best maps in the world. They have many, in different scales for Scotland, but this one covers the whole country.

The Shades depicted on Marton Mills’ website are a pretty good match to the cloth in hand, as it were. The company is also very obliging and will happily send samples to Joe Public, foc.

A micro brewery that’s no longer micro. Very well marketed, bottles and cans available in many outlets across the UK. Not bad, but there’s better out there and their pricing is rather ambitious in my...

It does look outstanding. Good fun reading through the old thread as well. Nine months ago! What a joy forums like these are, bringing together like minded folks and achieving something special, like...

Hello Rabble. I am selling a pair of military surplus Highland Brogues, black and size 9F. Bought new by me and hardly worn at all. I have added rubber heels and soles for extra grip. To Xmarkers I...

Steve, is your guide available to those unable to attend the course?

From the pictures it seems to be exceptionally well cut. Maybe originally bespoke, especially considering the cut out of the waistcoat, which is a really nice touch? Well done indeed. If I had this...

There are several BBC series' on similar themes, featuring the same archeologists and all are excellent viewing. The last one, "Secrets of the Castle", where they join (for a short time) a twenty...

Great look Glen - and well done on that lovely tartan as well.

Cheers Peter and thanks for the pic. Food for thought!

Evening all.

I am considering a new kilt in Robertson red in modern colours but am intrigued by the possibility of Robertson 1819 and maybe Wilson's colours, which I know little about. Can anyone...

No worries - but have a look here. It seems that Dalgliesh have a few yards available of Black Watch (which is, of course, Campbell) in the colour palette you're interested in.

I was faced with a similar quandary to you when I was choosing Ancient Hunting Robertson for my kilt. I had swatches from Lochcarron, House of Edgar and Marton Mills. Both HoE and MM tartans were...

Protestants emigrated to Ulster not only from Scotland, but to a lesser extent, England and Wales as well. It could be quite conceivable that your ancestors left Ireland for the US, their own Welsh...

Great pictures Derek. I showed them to my mum and dad who loved them - St. Augustine's has a special place in their hearts as mum was christened, confirmed and finally married my dad there in 1961,...

Another beautiful sporran by Scott and the extra pocket on the reverse is a cracking idea, but the outline of Cape Breton is inspired. Marvellous.

Another triumph for Scott and it looks great on you. I am a huge fan of MOD cantles and the leather is of a particularly nice hue on this re bag. Wonderful.

Yep Jock. Wembley, England. US National Football League (crash helmets and a wee rest every few minutes :wink:!). Dallas Cowboys v Jacksonville Jaguars. The league has started playing games in London...

Remarkably, I'm watching some live NFL, televised from Wembly Stadium. A great spectacle and what a nice touch with the poppies. Well done Cowboys and Jaguars!

Many congratulations mate. Much health and happiness for the future to you.

Well done Richard. An absolute triumph.

Love to mate. I'll drop you a pm at the weekend.

So, here I am in sunny (today) Cornwall on a couple of weeks hols following early retirement. Sat looking out of the window of our little holiday cottage contemplating our day walking a few more...

That'll do me. Good save mate!

Not sure about improving with age mate - fatter and balder, but at least the dodgy mustache is long gone . . . And the hose; ecru mate, ecru (allegedly!).
