Artifacts, New Faces & Old Friends - Loose Threads Ep.5

In this episode of Loose Threads Rocky and Erik examine a rare object - a first edition printing of R.R. McIan's Clans of the Scottish Highlands. We meet our newest team member - Allie. And we get a special visit from 'The Kilted Rabble Rousers' - a posse of kilt enthusiasts who met through the Kilts & Culture Facebook group.

Gillian's clan motto's designs were very clever.

Once again you folks have the best station on the web. I love the content and teamwork at the American kilt guild, AKA USA Kilts. And I anxiously wait for your next shows because it’s not only good clean entertainment it’s also very educational and fun. Thanks again, please keep up the great work.

I love how the red haired guy could be Ian’s brother. Dude in the Jean jacket was killing it too.

[@TadTheTinker]

Love this content. Great clan crest designs. Betting those would make good pins if enough interest showed up. Keep it coming!!

[@cristopherderose]

Kindness is free, there is 0 hug inflation.

[@karlr750]

Will there be someplace (or is there someplace already) where we can see photos of the pages of the book?

[@USAKiltsOfficial]

We're shooting a full 16 or 17 minute video dedicated to this book and it's place in tartan history where we show off many of the pages. It should be out in a week or two. :-)

So, in the book, nearly every clansman is portrayed with brogues. If I made myself a pair of furry ghillies, would that be historically accurate for only the 1800s, or the 1700s as well, and further back?
