Had to be shared! Another Irn Bru triumph - this is what the Scottish sense of humour is all about. Pure dead brilliant, man!

Gary is about to start work on the kilt that shouldn't be mentioned. We're calling it "The Scottish Kilt"...

We're on our way home after a fabulous, though rather soggy, weekend in Bressuire at the French Highland Games 🇫🇷. There was a great turnout despite the rain, plenty of great entertainment in the form of the games, some excellent dancing displays and top-notch pipe bands. Gary was able to see his Carduus Kilts that he made for the Bressuire team, the Bockers, and our stand got plenty of visitors. The atmosphere was brilliant, the event was very well organised, and we've made lots of new friends. Roll on next year's games in Thiron-Gardais!

Whae's like us? Damn few, and they're a' French! It's pishing it doon here at the French Highlandgames À Bressuire , and masses of people have donned their ponchos and put up their umbrellas to watch the dancers from the Gordon School of Dancing. So much love here for all things Scottish!

This was a nice piece on France 2 this morning about Les bockers de bressuire, one of the French teams at this year's French Highland Games in Bressuire this weekend. Gary has made six new special sports kilts for them as part of a sponsorship deal and we can't wait to see them in action. We're heading up there tomorrow for two days of Scottishness - pipe bands, kilts, caber-tossing, whisky-drinking... you get the picture!!

And Gary made us two new kilts, combining tweed and the Bressuire tartan... I can't wait to wear mine!

Gary got to see some of the fruits of his labours today - four members of the Piperade Pipe Band for whom he made kilts. They are all delighted! And the band sounded brill.

We got a lovely email from a very satisifed customer this morning - he'd just received his Isle of Skye kilt and he's over the moon with it! We're waiting for some pictures of him wearing it - and perhaps with him playing his pipes, as he's a member of a French pipe band! In the meantime, here are some pictures of the kilt, from a pile of cloth through some of the making stages, to the finished item.
