Scotland on TV

[ScotlandonTV]

www.scotlandontv.tv has started a new regular strand called 'Scotland FAQ' where we set out to answer all those questions about Scotland & being Scottish that we're often asked. One of our first answers concerns the correct form of traditional Scottish Highland Dress - starting with the shoes. To view this feature, click on to http://www.scotlandontv.tv/?channel=...id=1380_SMG683 We'll be featuring more of these in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out.

We've also recently added a 'Scotland FAQ' on Scottish Country Dancing which, of course, features our instructor in a kilt. You can find that here http://www.scotlandontv.tv/?channel=...id=1380_SMG684

Enjoy - and, if any xmarksthescot member has a question about Scotland they would like answered, do let us know.

Uhm....stv, I cant seem to get your website to work. Any server problems?

Hi all.

Two more Highland Dress items have been uploaded to the site.

The waistcoat, jacket and tie are covered in this video: http://www.scotlandontv.tv/?channel=...id=1380_SMG697

And we complete the outfit with the sporran, sgian dubh and kilt pin here:

Phil from Slanj in Glasgow was incredibly helpful in making these features.

We hope you enjoy them,

PS In response to the technical issue - we're not aware of any recent server problems. We upload 12 different versions in 3 formats (Flash, Windows Media & Real Media), so changing your viewing setting using the 'settings' icon below the player screen should hopefully solve the problem. Hope that works!

Where is this settings icon you speak of? Initially I set it to play Flash videos (which don't work at all) and now I want to try Windows Media Player but I can't for the life of me find the icon you're talking about.

Hi

Since this post, we have upgraded to a new Flash-only player, as many people (especially mac-users) couldn't use the old version of the player. The Flash videos should work if you have Flash version 8 or higher.

The FAQ pages may also help:

Hi everyone

We thought you might be interested in the new video we've just uploaded to the channel.

Howie Nicholsby of 21st Century Kilts presents a tour of Geoffrey (Tailor) Kiltmaker's Edinburgh Old Town Weaving Company, at the top of the Royal Mile, right by Edinburgh Castle. Over 200 clan and family tartans are woven at the only working weaving mill left in the city and Howie tells us all about how it all works.

Find the video here:

And there'll be more from Howie & family later this week.

Enjoy!

Thanks,

It's working fine now. Incidentally, how's about some shows regarding the great B&B's around scotland?

I have heard that there's a particularly fun one in Dumfries called Ferintosh B&B or some such name ;-)...It's kilt friendly and run by an eccentric gentleman with an academic past of some sort.

[McClef]

Both good sound advice!

Oh for the luxury of being able to select from one's own stock so one can always be totally co-ordinated!

We decided that we couldn't leave out the ladies when it comes to kilt-wearing, so visited Glasgow's Slanj to kit out our reporter, Flora Munro, in a couple of very modern mini-kilts.
