“I suppose the most showy of all my garments was the multicoloured Fair Isle sweater, with its jigsaw of patterns, which I wore for the first time while playing myself in as Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews in 1922. Its consequent widespread popularity brought some relief, I like to think, to many a Hebridean crofter family.”
