    It's a beautiful silver-plated, goat hair sporran very similar to one that P/M John D. Burgess is wearing in the photo below:



    If I didn't already have a wonderful Angora sporran made by our own Artificer I think I would snap it up! What a wonderful way to individualize your highland formal attire.

    Yes, it looks almost identical. I actually preferred the plain silver plated cantle one that had been sold though. Like Kyle I like the understated elegance more than the celtic style cantle but I need to wait as she is busy until next year

    I am not suprised that she has booked up already - she receives a lot of orders and commissions throughout the year (I put mine in around late August to early September), but the holiday season is especially busy for her.

    I have always loved this photo of the famous piper. Exceptional Highland evening dress; perfection in my book.
