Good advice Tam. All being well, should I live just another few years the cupboard will be nearly empty as far as death duties go!

Jock,
I note that you have written sons in the plural. What are they to do in their later years when the kilts they have no longer fit them? It seems the best you can do by your sons is to make sure you have more than one in the larger sizes to be passed down when you are gone, perhaps one in weathered colors.

Actually two of my sons are rather on the grand size and these days they seem to buy tartan by the acre to make their kilts! The other one is more of a standard size and I think he will end up with more than a few family tartans.
