    That was cool and so interesting! Since your daughter is there as well, does that mean piping together in the evening? And inquiring minds want to know which kilt you are working on out there in the Arizona wilds.

    The tartan was extremely poplar at the time and was sold in Harrods, Scotch House etc and Ian Maxwell relates (2009) that many hundreds of kilts and ties were made in it. Eskvalley originally produced three mohair stoles in it, one of which was presented to Neil Armstrong’s wife."
