Had I been at home in the rather rainy UK, it would have definitely been a party. I mean capital P.A.R.T.Y. I know for a fact that my family, the length and breadth of the country, wou ...

- The Wonderful World Of The Scottish Sporran
By: Steve Dickson | - Sporran. It's one of those strange words that everyone's heard but not so many people could positively define. Outside of Scotland that is.
Within its native land, as a key component of the national dress of Scotland, the sporran is revered as much as the haggis or scotch whiskey. But what is it exactly?
A sporran is the pouch worn hanging down at the front of the kilt (The word simply means purse or pouch in Gaelic). It hangs from the sturdy leather belt that secures the k ...

- Scottish Kilts - Or Are They?
By: Sreve Dickson | - One of the main problems I saw was the fact that kilts were being old for 20 or less. Well it doesn't take a genius to work out that these are not exactly the real deal when a normal kilt can cost anything from 250 upwards.

- Scottish Sporran Licence - The Truth
By: Sreve Dickson | - On 24th June 2007 the headline on the BBC's website said, Sporran wearers may need licence. This, as usual with the media, in itself is misleading and has caused consternation around the sporran wearing, selling, manufacturing base in Scotland. The article begins with:

There are generally three different styles of Scottish traditional dance: ceilidh dancing, country dancing and Highland dancing.
