    Thanks for the information Steve, some of us do indeed like to know how to spell and pronounce different parts of highland garb properly. I know in my own case I have seen various spellings of Argyll and Braemar and this has been a cause for confusion. I mean if we are serious about highland garb it would be nice to have the common courtesy to spell it properly.
