I'm happy to share the space with you, Matt. It was nice seeing you again.
On the far left is Dr. Phil Smith, author of the popular
Tartan for Me! reference, as well as other works on tartan.
Didn't you tell me that the MacCreary tartan I have was designed by Phil Smith? I did wear it on Saturday as promised. Several people asked me about it on my walkabouts.
To the right is Brian Wilton, director of the Scottish Tartans Authority, who was one of the dinstinguished guests of the Games this year.
Oh, what a shame I missed him. He recently reviewed a tartan design I have been working on and would have enjoyed showing him my revisions.
With him is Henry Scott, of Clan Scott (and also Purple Heather Pottery, which we carry in our gift shop for those who have seen it). Henry was serving as Brian's "bodyguard" for the weekend.
Why did he need a bodyguard?
Best regards,
Rex.
At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
