    Just let me know which ones you want some words on.

    I'm just a one kilt kind of guy. If I did get another, it would be the same as the one I have now. And this was the one I was married in, so it's "more" special in case of loss. In fact it's been in Scotland more than me! It was made by Lochcarron, and came over for the wedding on our first trip, than made 2 more without me to be resized (I lost about 30lbs). So in all I have been on Scottish soil twice, and the kilt 4 times! I have some catching up to do...lol, if it sould ever make it over again without me, I'll send a camera with it. I'll post the photos here, and everyone can ask where's Frank?... LMAO

    Gorgeous pictures. Looked like you had a fantastic trip and good weather for it!

    Did you hear the wonderful story about the nuns of Iona while you were there?

    Loch Lomand - Big deal thanks to Sir Walter Scott.

    Duart Castle - Current Seat of Clan MacLean, on the Isle of Mull

    Torosay Castle - Still lived in, and open to the public, Scottish Baronial style castle on the Isle of Mull

    Aros Castle - Thought to have been built by the MacDougall lords of Lorn in the 13th century, it has passed hands many times including the Lord of the Isles (Clan Donald) and Campbell. It is on Mull

    Dunstaffnage Castle - Once the capital of Dalriada, the original Kingdom of the Scots, it was a MacDougall stronghold until 1309, it was seized by Robert the Bruce who then gave it to Clan Campbell. And Floria MacDonald was held here for a time.

    Armadale Castle - Once seat of Clan Donald, and current home to a museum on the history of the clan on the Isle of Skye.

    ...more coming soon.
