Was at the Cowal Highland Gathering today in Dunoon. Very proud to see 2 of my kilts swinging beautifully on stage. One of them was my daughter.

Also dead chuffed to have had one of my hornpipe suits and also an aboyne skirt and plaid worn in Scotland!

Here’s to Stag Stitches!

Whilst I’ve still to find a stag, we did manage to find 3 “wee heilan coos” today and had a lot of fun feeding them along with a lovely drive up thru Callander, pausing at a gorgeous loch, Loch Lubnaig. For those Outlander fans, you may recognise the castle we saw, Doune Castle (Castle Leoch).

A wee update on my travels. So my trip commenced in Inverness. I visited Inverness Castle. Those of you who are familiar with highland dancing will know of the dance “ Flora MacDonald’s Fancy”. Was lovely to see her statue in front of the castle. A wee ticky tour thru Beauly and Kiltarlity where my Fraser ancestors are from. “Je suis prest”!

When you travel with a teenager you need to take a cruise on Loch Ness for a bit of Nessie spotting. I’m convinced I did see some humps just appearing out the loch 😉.

Wee pause at the Highland Folk Museum in Pitlochry then thru to Galashiels down on the Borders. I confess to have never travelled that far down and really loved it. At this point it is both mine and my daughter’s favourite location.

Edinburgh for a few nights, well you have to don’t you, and now in Stirling, via a visit to the Kelpies. Such a beautiful country Scotland is!

Fabulous evening at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo last night.

From a kiltmakers perspective I have to say their bear kilts need a little work 😉

Today I visited the Lochcarron Mill in Selkirk. The very first kilt I made, the tartan was from Lochcarron Fraser weathered heavyweight for my brother. Fabulous tour around the mill, really interesting. We watched a woman fix a pulled thread in some tartan. The way she hand weaved the new thread thru was just amazing. So many photos to add!

Stag Stitches is on a wee break this month as I am enjoying a wee jaunt around Scotland. Currently in Galashiels on the Borders, I visited “The Great Tapestry of Scotland” today. Some amazing work there.

Not finished as I had hoped but so close. I redid the hem today as was just a tad too long and added lining. Just tacking and pressing to go.
