An extraordinary invitation & unique Tartan opportunity

[Orionson]

[QUOTE=Calgacus;1248707]If you do decide to join in, let me know as I'm thinking it would be possible to get two kilts from a length of double width cloth and avoid the seam at the back, but only if we were to co-ordinate the purchase.

That sounds like a brilliant idea, gentlemen. This is beginning to shape up into being a rather excellent adventure. May I suggest that we consider all meeting up in Selkirk at Robin's Mill for the day of the actual weave? I will likely go down before hand to have a look at the colour dying process as well.

There are plenty of B&B's in the area and a trip to Abbotsford (a few short miles away) might just cap off the "event". (Spouses' and/or partners more than welcome - might sweeten the pill of the cost?) Abbotsford just seems appropriate to me somehow, given Sir Walter's contribution to what we all love so much. That "our" MacDuff pre-dates his efforts is icing on the cake.

I'll pass your offer/opportunity on to the MacDuffs that I know.

[Jordan]

Unfortunately gents, I'm going to have to say im out. I like the tartan and the history but cant quite justify the cost without much connection.

[Calgacus]

That's such a shame Jordan, but fully understand. It's hard enough justifying these things even with the connection.

Cheers,

Richard.

Thanks for your interest in any event, Jordan. I echo Calgacus' post.

May the shoogles of regret not hit you too hard when we post the eventual photos at project's end.
