Inherited threacount was G/4 LG8 G4 LG2 G2 LG2 G6 K4 G4 K4 G24 R2 G4 R/2 which gave a very small sett. The one shown here is larger and is from the Loccarron sample.

Inherited threacount was G/4 LG8 G4 LG2 G2 LG2 G6 K4 G4 K4 G24 R2 G4 R/2 which gave a very small sett. The one shown here is larger and is from the Loccarron sample. Not sure where the pre-1880 date comes from. The Smith Museum on Stirling certainly have a Wilsons' c1820-40 sample. PEM
