    Kilts in Books

    Okay I've tried to use the search but to no avail.

    So I'm gonna assume that these books hve not been mentioned in the forums yet.

    I've been recently listening to some audio books by Lilian Jackson Braun, all of which are titled "The Cat Who..." These are mystery/crime type of novels in which the main character's cat helps solve the case.

    So far I've got through two of them, "The Cat Who Talked Turkey" and "The Cat Who Went Banannas". In both of them there is mention of kilt wearing and Scottish heritage. I've found these to be very enjoyable and of course I always take special notice whenever the kilts are mentioned. Same as in the books by Diana Gabaldon.

    "Dies the Fire" and it sequels by S.M. Stirling prominently feature a kilt wearing bunch. Its a sort of sci-fi turned middle ages The End Of The World As We Know It. (TEOTWAWKI)
