Sporran?

victauria · 11-10-2012, 10:30 AM

And if I didn't want to carry a purse, would it be ok to ask him to just put a couple of essential items in the sporran for me?

red_phoenix · 11-10-2012, 10:51 AM

Does this help?

Katel · 11-10-2012, 09:56 PM

I don't think a handbag looks as cute as a sporran, do you?

victauria · 11-10-2012, 10:00 PM

And why is his purse called a sporran while the girl's carry-all is a purse? Although I must say that I'm not sure I could carry a purse covered in horse hair….

Does a Scotswoman have a purse or a sporranette perhaps?

Solitaire1 · 11-10-2012, 11:32 PM

Does a scottswoman wear a kilt?

red_phoenix · 11-11-2012, 06:49 AM

Should one ask a Scotswoman what she wears?

74Cuda · 11-11-2012, 07:04 AM

Can't one look and see?

icantbebothered · 11-11-2012, 10:21 AM

Does one even see a Scotswoman?

victauria · 11-11-2012, 10:25 AM

Do you mean because there are few around you or because they are super stealthy?

Just like today's pockets, its contents would be many and varied but contemporary - coins, musket balls, fire-making paraphernalia and even, amongst cattle drovers, oats and onions for whistling up a black pudding on the trail (they bled the cattle and used the blood)

In earlier days I'd imagine he had enough to fill it with, wouldn't you?

victauria · 11-11-2012, 07:29 PM

Oh, it's just a few little bitty things, hardly worth mentioning, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind, would he? After all, he's a canny fellow and knows what's important, right?!

Katel · 11-11-2012, 10:51 PM

Yes, as he would be canny he'd know it's important to be nice
to a moo cow, correct?

victauria · 11-11-2012, 10:56 PM

Just so!! Very perceptive, aren't you?
