Lavot or Lovat ??

[SpeedyPete]

I've noticed that some pipers call this shape "Lavot" while others talk about "Lovat".

I was told that this particular shape was made famous by Lord Lovat, member of the Lovat clan.

I'm curious to know how it should be spelled and I wonder whether any of the brothers can shed some light on this topic? :?:

Interesting notion. I only have one lovat, and it does have a rather Large Band.

Wasn't Lord Lovat married to Mary Chapin-Carpenter?

BBB made the first Lovat:
" If you are fond of the Lovat shape, according to pipe historian Jacques Cole, you have BBB to thank. In a 1982 article in Tobacco Magazine, Cole wrote, “It is our opinion that BBB initiated the Lovat shape, with the wide bore for better draught. It appears well before the 1914/18 War, and was offered in four sizes and called the ‘Highland’ series. Col Henry Fraser, Lord Lovat, must have favoured this shape, and the name was eventually adopted in his honour. [The Lovat] is still being sold today.”

Love it or Leave it :twisted:
