    I replied too soon. Great photos -- love the detail shots of the sporran too, thanks for sharing those with us. I guess that's the next best thing to being able to see something like that in person Lucky you!

    Believe it or not, my 80 year old friend heard how excited I was about the horsehair sporran, as I told him of my outfit for St. Patrick's Day, that he exclaimed: "Take it with you and wear it, Laddie!"

    So, I actually get to wear that bit of history, which brilliantly tops off my semi-military outfit that I created. Here is a pic:

    By "take," did he mean "and keep it?"
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
