Like most visitors to our museum, the Saltire wanted to be sure to spend some time in the gift shop.

It went straight for the Lewis hose -- for some reason it was most attracted to the "St. Andrews Blue" color.... hmmmmm...


Because it was in the Carolinas, it had to see what the Carolina tartan looked like. It drooled over the bolt of heavy weight kilt cloth, and really considered getting measured for a kilt, but decided to think about it.


Next it wanted to see some of the nice hand-made products we have. I showed it some of the neat sgians that are made by Al Bullman, one of our regular volunteers and Vice President of our Friends of the Museum group.


On the way out of the sgian dubh case, it nearly flew into one of the Storm Capes, made by Empire Canvas.


Next, it was over to see the wonderful belt buckles that we get from Tyger Forge.


The Saltire asked how far away Tiger, GA, is from Franklin. Maybe it's thinking of it's next trip.....

Of course no visit to the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop would be complete without taking a look at some of our sporrans.


Unfortunately, the Saltire must have left its wallet back with BEEDEE, because it didn't buy anything. But it says a nice new sporran is definitely on its wish list! :-)
