    Well congratulations! And the regiment has certainly got the right man for the job, one who really knows what he's doing and who takes the time and care to do things right.

    BTW I find it interesting that the kilts of The Canadian Scottish are pleated to alternate between two different stripes. IIRC the kilts of the Cape Breton Highlanders are like that too. I don't think any of the Scottish military kilts are like that, so is it a Canadian thing? Makes me wonder about Australian etc military kilts.

    Also, it's interesting that that kilt was made in 1952 at Thomas Gordon & Son. We here in the USA have a venerable kiltmaker who travels about the country teaching kiltmaking classes, Elsie Scott Stuehmayer, who began her five-year kiltmaking apprenticeship with Thomas Gordon & Son in 1949. So, that kilt may well have been made by her!
