    "I recently examined the outfit and am halfway through a paper on the plaid, including dimensions, detail of some unusual features etc, oh and pictures of course. I'm about to disappear on Exercise for a a week but hope to get it finished and up on my website by the end of the month.

    Hope you can stand the wait."


    Figheadair, thank you for your reply. I think I can wait a few more weeks. The fabric has been sitting on the shelf for two years so another month will not make much difference. It's all in the seasoning you see. The longer a project sits, the sweeter it is upon completion. Anticipation. Patience and proper research always produces the best results.

    You are very fortunate to have access to these treasures, and it is so very good of you to share your research with us. So many researchers are tight with their findings. This helps no one but themselves.

    When I get this project finished I will be posting some photos of the work.

    Would it be possible to post a link to your web site?

    Tschüß!

    "Na, so weit komme ich heute nicht mehr."

    Yes, now back to topic. Peter thank you for the linx to your web site and die SlackerDrummer for providing the full URL.

    Looks like I'm going to be spending a great deal of time reading over the material on Peter's web site. A lot of time and effort has been spent doing that research, thank you Peter for sharing the material with us. I look forward to seeing your research on the John Murray MacGregor plaid.

    Tschüß!

    Hallo, Herr Doktor. Your salutations are (from what I gathered in my German 1 textbooks) typically Austrian, so I presume you are from that corner of the German-speaking world.
    I have not seen a posting from you under Kilt Board Newbie, but perhaps I have missed it.
    All the same, welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa, from a descendant of a Swabian (who also has Lowland Scottish blood).
    I have taken note of several Austrian tartans, including an artefact recovered at Hallstatt.
    Regards,
    Mike
