    Great pics, and I love the hose as well. Ham, is that the new SWK nylon sporran? I have one as well and love it. Do you like yours?

    Now I can tell Ham is in the XMarks tartan, Mark is that Scottish National you are wearing?

    Wow! Thanks for all the nice comments, Guys. We'd have taken a lot more photos had the weather been better.

    The hose? I've worn this pair with my 'X Marks...' kilt in other photos - where you all been?!!!! They were among a selection I bought from 'The Sock Company' (www.sock-co-country.co.uk) at the end of last year. As soon as I saw this blue/yellow pair I just knew they'd be right for the 'X Marks...' tartan - and they are!

    Here is a group photo of the hose I chose!!!

    It is indeed, KCW. Yes, I use this sporran quite a lot really, considering that I usually only wear one when I really HAVE to. It is a very casual model but it comfortably holds considerably more than any other of my sporrans - including (really sorry, David) my two super Freelanders.

    Now I can tell Ham is in the XMarks tartan, Mark is that Scottish National you are wearing?
    You "tell" correctly, of course and, since Mark is on his travels, I'll jump his gun and confirm on his behalf that he was wearing the Scottish National - a semi-trad from Rocky (and very nice indeed it is too - can't wait for my Irish National from him!!)

    He certainly was, Cloves. Well, Romans DID, y'know - they knew what was right! His was rather flimsy-looking and considerably shorter than either of ours, but he had some heavier kit on top to keep things in place. Heck! If the Romans could get away with short garments like that, why can't I? They'd be great for the summer, and with legs like mine......!!
