The Dalmore Blue was rated as Medium, Tam O' Shanter as fine, and Water of Ayr as very fine.

There is some confusion with the names of the scottish hones, having gone through changes over the years. The Tam O' Shanter as it is known today was at one time also refered to as the Water of Ayr. Water of Ayr at one time may not have referred to the very fine grade to which it is applied today.

Some people shave off of the Tam O' Shanter, while the very fine Water of Ayr was designated for razors.
