About 4 years ago whilst in Braemar on a Clan Farquharson Gathering, I went into Lamont Sporrans, and saw an old Farquharson kit for sale. It did not fit mer but I bought it and had it re-made to fit me.

The kilt is pre-WW1 so must be a good 85+ years old. Extremely heavy cloth and the sett is huge. Very unusual and very rare. It the same as that worn by my Clan Chief and he says he inherited his, so his is likely to be much older than mine. The pleast are a good 4" deep, although the kiltmaker who altered it for me had to insert a very narrow pleat in the centre in order to keep the sett.

I wear it once or twice a year and just for special occasions. The photo is of me and my very dear late friend Brian at a legal event in Kendal in the English Lake District in July last year.
