    Thanks for sharing that, Chas. What a great story and a very nice gesture.

    What a shame - he sounds like a fine old gentleman. I would agree with the comment that he could certainly have continued to wear a kilt, and I have a one-legged friend who does... but for whatever reason, he felt he could not, and was kind enough to share with someone for whom he conceived a bond and respect. We can only wish him well.

    That's a beautiful sporran. You are very lucky to have met such a generous man. As the others mentioned, it's too bad that he felt like he could no longer where the kilt because of his leg.

    Fantastic story and a wonderful sporran. May you wear it with pride, as I'm sure he did.
