So are you looking for a philbeag (great kilt) or a wee kilt? The great kilts are a pain to pleat and get into, but what a wonderfully useful piece of clothing/equipment!

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

We use that tape with adhesive only on the edges in entertainment, especially tv. It is known as Tunnel Tape, used for taping down cables across traffic areas. It's very expensive, and available in some really wide sizes. Who would have thought that this style of tape went back that far!felinefan wrote:Every year I buy a bunch of farmer's almanacs; they have lots of interesting stories in them. One of them has the story of the origin of Scotch tape. The company that made tape back then--1920s, I believe--had a type of tape used by painters which had adhesive only on the edges of the tape, not in the middle. When the sales rep came by a contruction site where this tape was being used, one of the disgruntled painters told him, "Why don't you tell those Scotch bosses of yours to put adhesive on the entire tape?" So they did. And this is why it's called Scotch tape. In this instance, Scotch was used to mean cheap or overly thrifty.

One of the folks I worked with at the Poly is also involved with some of the Orlando-area Scottish dance groups, and he might be able to give a recommendation on where to get a kilt. Would you like me to try to get his contact info for you?Shorty82 wrote:What I have is an Amerikilt, an American version of the Scottish kilt.

Also, I heard something about the Scottish Highland Games coming soon.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
