The late Jock Hay of Delgatie had a sporran made from a leopard he shot after it killed one of his porters. It was large (as was Jock-- in more ways than one!) and suited him down to the ground. The late Leslie Peter of Lee also sported a leopard sporran, this one with a full mask. The story about that wasn't nearly as exciting as Jock's; the sporran was a gift to the Baron of Lee from Prince Bhutalazi of the Zulus. In comparison my full mask muskrat sporran was something of a piker. I always thought that to trump my buddies I'd have to have a shrunken head sporran with toes for tassels! Hmmm. I wonder...
