From memory carpet pythons live in Australia. Would one of these be the constrictor?

Uh oh, Taff 'the Minesweeper' set the question, so we may be stumbling across odd penalties for days now he's not here to clear the way for us!

Hmm tartan legands. Jocky Wilson? Stanley Baxter? Kirsty Wark? Rab C Nesbit?

Maybe an older tartan legend, like William Wallace... or some other Scotish hero/heroine. I'm sorry, I tried to think of other examples and no names came...

Klaxon Bating - I take it the constrictor IS a snake?

Before it became a (Scottish) kilt it was a blanket, weather repellant and comforter carried over the shoulder.
That may be part of the reason it's so precious - that and when the clans designed their own tartans (plaids).
The amount of material and the workmanship is impressive - and expensive.

Easy enough to do, too... If you have around seven yards of good tartan and a hefty belt.
