Tartan and diced hose

[Panache]

I really like the look of the tartan hose, I'm just not ready yet spend the cost of a Stillwater Heavyweight for a single pair of socks...still they look really smart!

Phil, art thou a Galbraith?

Cheers

How did you guess - I suppose the kilt gave it away. I was at Culcreuch castle in Fintry a couple of weeks ago which was the seat of the Galbraiths. It is a really impressive place and well worth a visit although they seem to survive mostly on the wedding trade nowadays. The last Galbraith chief seemingly wasn't too good with money and lost the place! It seems he also indulged in hamesucken (Scots legal term for attacking someone in their own home) and probably had to leave in a hurry. I believe he ended up in Ulster so he would have been well suited there.
