Off topic, but tangentially relevant ;-)

Btw, your design is quite eyecatching and could prove to be quite attractive to dancers.
Thanks for the info about Highland Dancing... I would be grateful for links to relevant sites. I'm rather ignorant in regard to Highland & Irish Dancing: my eldest daughter is 6yo and has tired of the ballet she started at 3, but was taken with the few tap-classes she got alongside, and has since become Irish Dance crazy (it's even overtaken horses!). We have her signed up for Irish classes in the Fall. My youngest is quite taken with violin and fiddle; so, they may end up becoming quite a duo! :-)
Also, If you know any dancers that may be interested in pre-ordering yardage of my new tartan, I would be happy for the funding to offset the cost of F&K's minimum yardage purchase... :-D
The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
