    A sad day for kiltmakers

    In the news yesterday was this article about the possible demise of the kiltmaking school in Keith, Scotland.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/6728023.stm
    Any of you who have been following Alan's thread about the "Outrageous cost of kilts" will be interested in this. I do hope this will not be a nail in the coffin for kiltmaking in Scotland as I know only too well once these skills are lost they are gone forever.

    Hopefully they will be able to find more funding as it would be a pity if the skills died out.
