    I was speaking with our fellow X Marker, Graham from Tasmania, who is currently touring the United Kingdom and he told me that he was recently introduced to a gentleman in Saltcoats, North Ayrshire who has over 200 kilts!

    Graham understood that the other gentleman's motives were, however, different to mine. He collects kilts from all manner of sources, possibly for the sake of 'collecting'; whereas, with one exception, all of mine were tailored for me or, at least, bought new for me to wear. Although I have built The Kollection, I have not done so with that sole purpose - it is just that I have never disposed of any that I have acquired!!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Hamish,
    You can claim the largest "working collection". The other fellow is like a car collector that keeps them up on blocks in the yard.
