Lidl Supermarket sells budget kilts

[Frank McGrath]

Does any one have a picture of Burns in a kilt?

Well I have never seen one and it's highly unlikely he ever wore one to begin with being a Lowlander who lived and died before the "Highand Revival" following the visit of George IV to Edinburgh which took place many years after Burns' death.

All the kilted connotations we now have in celebrating him are of later origin (although I am sure he would love it).

Weel Done, McClef!

Burns did mention Highland dress in several of his songs & poems, especially those that were Jacobite in sympathy --The White Cockade, Bonnie Heilan Laddie, etc. That being said, it doesn't mean Burns ever wore a kilt.

There is a painting entitled "The Soldier's Return" that reportedly depicts Burns in discussion with a Sergeant of the Black Watch in a tavern -- I'd love to have a copy for my library.

Cheers,

You would think they would have given them a press before the models donned them - even GB do that!

Reach into your sporran and extract a coin. Hold it in your hand and examine it closely...... Do you see that there are two sides?

Hand made wool tanks are fantastic and very useful.

That does not mean that low cost man-made kilts are bad and of no use.... They are good, if for no other reason than it will get a few more people in a kilt. They serve well for changing the oil or bar hopping as well.

Those might have been the second lot - if you press a man made fibre at the wrong temperature the result is either no effect or melted.

I have to report that - (having not been well recently - just a nasty reaction to the flu jab I think) - I found a haggis in the bottom of the freezer, and having cooked it, peeled it, poured on some whisky and eaten it - I felt much better.

I used to make clothing on commission, but not any longer. When I get asked to make things for less than the cost of the materials it just doesn't make sense. The only people I work for are an ad agency - they know the value of anyone who can take an idea and turn it into something solid.
