    I think you may be thinking of McRostie of Glasgow. First rate kit. The sporran,sporran strap and kilt belt, in the picture, are from them. They are well over thirty years old and have hardly shown any wear at all. Try: www.mcrostie.co.uk

    Do you have a web site for them? My googlefoo isn't working very well today.

    You are quite right Jock. Definitely first rate sporran makers! I love how you can choose which kind of leather color you wish to have made, in both the sporran and its sporran strap. You look quite smart by the way! Glad to see your sporran at the correct height, as I know you would wear it in that manner, many often do not.

    Slainte,
