    Any else from Edinburgh going - fancy meeting up ?
    I should be in Dumfries from the Friday till the Sunday then planning to go to Edinburgh on the St. Andrews Day Monday holiday 30th, arriving around lunchtime, planning on meeting up with Phil and anyone else who might be interested. I'd like to march up the Royal Mile before it gets too dark and then stay to watch the fireworks display at 7pm.

    It was at a stall in Sloane's Market around a month ago. The woman told me she's never sold a pair of yellow hose so it was good that she only has one pair.
    I was there around 2 weeks ago for some black hose and there were no yellow hose out on the stall. She told me a young lady had bought them to wear with her boots 2 minutes before I was there!

    I found some on sites.
    here's some with a plain cuff:

    Brighter yellow with a detailed cuff:

    I really like the second pair. When I get a kilt with a yellow stripe (which I should be soon) I'll definitely be buying a pair!

    Believe it or not I'm in uni for 12 straight months with 3 weeks holiday. No public holidays at all!

    No problem Hamish. Also check out this site:

    http://www.bestinthecountry.co.uk/Sh...ocks_C895.aspx

    I'm buying a pair of hose and a set of 4 pairs of gartars off there. All seems a very good deal.
