I thought when I saw this you were talking about the start of the grouse shooting season.

Not unless you can think of some grouse-related tartan!

Indeed I thought that the entire month of July had vanished......

Me too though I have to admit it's been a long time since i made a few extra £ grouse and pheasant beating, i do remember it being August...

Of course that just means you can have a sale next month too...

I'll admit to my lack of Irish history... I looked it up...

Actually no....
the 12th of July 1690 was the date of the Battle of the Boyne.

If you read them both...

I did.... but it is the 12th July 1690 Battle of the Boyne that is known as the "12th" it's a somewhat famous event, not the battle of Aughrim.
I'm sure that John was thinking of the Boyne, with the Northern Irish connection, as those were the tartans he has selected, rather than Aughrim which is in Galway, Ireland
