Kilts, Pins and Whisky - it must be Burns Night....

Is it possible that it's that time of year... after the festive celebrations... another year on....and the kilt is brought out of the cupboard to toast the bard on Burns Night and.... well... it just doesn't quite make it anymore?

Pop in to Coburg House in Leith (www.coburghouse.co.uk) where the superbly skilled tailors at Rose Kilts (www.rosekilts.com) can do alterations, fit new buckles or even mend moth holes. A crusade to save the kilt! Failing which, a brand new kilt can be made to measure – with matching flashes sir?

Or in time honoured fashion, distract attention with a dramatic modern kilt pin from Coburg resident Jenny Parkers Ballachulish Collection (www.jennyparkerjewellery.com/#!ballachulish-collection/c24x6). The alchemy o f Scottish slate and silver will send your fellow revellers reeling.

Or blur the battle lines and offer your whisky in James Donald's exquisite hand engraved glasses (www.pickone.co.uk/whisky-glasses.html ).
