    Aye,

    Matt,

    does House of Edgar also produce 511? I assume Lochcarron does as well?
    Thanks again.

    Aye,

    Yes, if you go with 511, you have your choice between Edgar and Locharron, and likely other mills, as well.

    Lochcarron does it in a heavy weight in modern and ancient colors. Edgar offers is in a medium weight in modern colors. Strathmore offers it in light weight in modern colors.

    for those wishing to see photos taken by Jock Scot of the locations mentioned in earlier posts relating to the McDonells of Keppoch, then go to: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/m...922/index.html

    Thanks again Jock!
