And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The hairy dangling thingie is a sporran, it's a pouch for your coins and small items since traditional kilts don't have pockets. The top of the sporran should be a hands-width below the top of the kilt so the soldier on the left of the pic has it too high. Come visit Maxville, Ontario on the first weekend of August for the Glengarry Highland Games, but only if you like the sound of bagpipes. Al_in_Ottawa
