    Whilst I cannot really call Hamish a friend, more like an acquaintance, nevertheless I did enjoy meeting him at the Commando Monument near Spean Bridge when he and his friend were in the area. We had a cheery hour putting the kilt world to rights, before they had to go to seek out a square yard of Scotland he had bought that he thought-----sadly incorrectly-----made him a Scottish Laird. Actually I think he knew it was just a bit of fun but he seemed to be looking forward to the adventure!

    Anyway, I wish him well and have happy memories of our brief encounter in the Highlands.

    Chin up, Old Boy!

    While I never met Hamish personally, I would consider him a friend. I made him a sporran strap and belt combination for his green Freelander sporran and he sent me back a lovely Charles Rennie Mackintosh silver kilt pin. He has always been nothing short of a gentleman and it is a shame that we have never met in person. Over the past while Ham has never been far from my thoughts so I appreciate you giving us this sad update Bernie. I will PM you shortly regarding all of this. Please give him my very best.

    I'm very sorry to hear of your friends illness. If the V&A in London hasn't replied, perhaps the Scottish branch of the museum might be more receptive? There are details and a contact form at this link;

    Well worth a visit once this damnable pandemic is over.
