    The picture of the Ulster (PEAT) does not really do it justice. I have a Scout Scarf made from the tartan and it has a much more stronger colour. The down side is that in bigger quantities IE a kilt the colour seems to muddy a bit.Also it is one of those tartans that have quite a colour change depending who weaves it.

    But for all these great powers, he's wishful, like me
    To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea.

    But I'm going to bite my tongue here since this is religion being discussed outside of the offtopic forum.

    Suffice to say that kilt wearers are deep thinkers and seem to to have a heart for seeking truth!

    You can certainly change "astrology" to "astronomy" and consider much of my points to be coincidences. I was just stating some of my opinions/interpretations based on what I've read. It's inevitable that each of us will say something sooner or later that goes against the other's core beliefs. In the end, almost all of us (myself included), choose to believe whatever strikes our heart as truth. And we did get just a "bit" off topic.

    I know you and I would probably disagree on a lot of issues, but find we agree on many others over a dram of whisky.

    There's another good one, Andrew. The Jewish and Moorish influence in Spain is probably responsible for that. I wonder if the number seven in some of the languages has Semitic origins (spanish siete, french sept, hebrew shabat, arabic s'aba(t))

    "Seven" is from an Indo-European root *septm, so it makes sense that many languages have a similar word. The Romance languages, however, get it from the Latin septem. The Sanskrit is saptan.
    English: seven; Old English: seven, seoven, seofen; Anglo-Saxon: seofon, seofan, seofen
    Dutch: zeven; Gothic and Old High German: sibun; German: sieben
    Icelandic: sjau; Swedish: sju; Danish: syv
    Lithuanian: septyni; Russian: seme
    Gaelic: seachd; Irish: seacht

    Nerdily,

    Andrew.

    This is no surprise Andrew, Noah and his sons, who spread out and populated the world following a world wide flood, all knew about God's commandments, including the fourth. That knowledge was carried with Shem, Ham and Japheth and passed on to all the tribes of the earth, through customs, culture and language.

    I knew, Hamish is immortal! How else could he gather such a large collection of kilts and be in 2 places at once. Certainly explains that wealth of knowledge he has.

    We're on to you now Ham!
