Hello, I'm Jean-Philippe (John-Philip if you want) from Alsace in east of France. Let me first apologize for my "not so rich English speaking" ! Foreign languages have always been an educational issue in my country…
So, Scotland and me is a of love story that started many years ago. I will not bother you with such story, just that the first time I came to Scotland I had the opportunity to attend the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh, that was in summer 1996. Oh dear what an event that was! At that moment the seed was planted and the idea of wearing the kilt grew and grew… but too slowly, probably my shyness or just because here around it is really not in our habits. Only 2 decades after the idea came true as I received as a wedding present from Scottish friends kilt, belt, sporran, socks and flashes. And here we are…
Now I'm trying to find more and more opportunities to wear it ! Next step, the Balmoral hat (easy to find) and another kilt, but which tartan, which quality ? I do not know yet. What else ?
