Yet more terrible taxidermy

[creagdhubh]

With the deepest respect to her artform and skill, I cannot imagine buying one of these for a child without inducing psychological trauma that would keep a therapist in business for decades.

Hahaha! Quite right, mate.

You must be referring to the smaller mink and polecat sporrans that Kate offers, which are indeed the appropriate size ratio for a child. I do agree, unless of course the wee lad has been continuously exposed to such sporrans. For example, His Grace the Duke of Argyll's two boys, my Chief's (Sir William Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie) grandson, who wears a full mask sporran made from a Scottish Wildcat at our annual gathering in Badenoch, Cameron of Lochiel's son, etc. However, sporrans in such Highland families as I described, are more than likely passed down from one generation to the next without it being necessary to go out and buy a new one.

Cheers,
