This article appeared in the Harrisburg Patriot News yesterday. It is an essay written by a high school girl about her kiltwearing grandfather. I really enjoyed it. http://www.pennlive.com/search/index...ennoped&coll=1
That is a fantastic article! Always good to hear someone realize that the silly plaid thing grandpa wears isn't a skirt, but a proud and mighty kilt!
Great job by a young lady in expressing her own confusion, and then understanding.

Good for Grandpa, for not only wearing a Kilt, but in having such a great and wonderful granddaughter. Good story.

great story. Its nice to read of a yongster taking the time out to get to know where they come from I hope the young writer gets to bring in one of grand dads kilts (and maybe grand dad to model it) to show her friends the man behind the story.
ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT! WARNING: I RUN WITH SCISSORS “I asked Mom if I was a gifted child… she said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me."
This was a beautiful essay, and it gives me hope. My oldest daughter was...6, I believe, when I started wearing my kilt, and she has never really accepted it. I have shown up at her school in my kilt, and I wear it when ever I take her out for Daddy Daughter day, and she never acts embarassed nor tries to over explain her eccentric father, but will frankly state she rather I not wear it. She is 9 now, and maybe in 6 years, she will be as proud as that young lass that wrote the essay.
Very nice essay. It would be nice if more Scottish heritage groups sponsored things like this to help encourage young ppl to get involved.
What a wonderful essay. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But I have to admit that the idea of a kilt-wearing grandpa as an extra in a Britney Spears video was a littl disturbing.
