I don't know about the large sporran thing...

I saw a segment on that Tartan TV show (US only, I guess, so you folks in the UK shouldn't wonder) where one of the presenters (who was a rather large man) weent looking for the Loch Ness Monster (yeah, I know...touristy...you can all come over here and we can search for the Sasquatch...although, I think I've seen him drinking at the Duke of Perth, so it won't be much of a search).

Anyway...this fella had a truly capacious Rob Roy type sporran and I thought that it looked great and perfectly functional. I mean, it looked like you could pack all of your necessities AND a couple of sandwiches in this puppy. Just looked like a good option for long days out.

So it's not like some kind of "sporran envy" compensation thing so much as having the extra cargo capacity...

Best
