Hamish Bicknell has collected and worn kilts since 1949. With 99 kilts in his collection, and with the help of some friends, he had a special tartan designed for his 'centennial' kilt. Hamish is particularly fond of 'muted' and 'weathered' colour schemes, so the tartan was designed to reflect those tastes. - 29th Apr. 2010 — Hamish Bicknell (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
