I've been interested in Scotland for many years because of my Monroe family name, but didn't do much actively to further that interest. A recent visit to that great country has renewed my enthusiasm. I found a wonderful vintage kilt in a thrift shop in Pitlochry (made by P & J Haggart's of Aberfeldy) in the Austin (Ancient) tartan. I took that as a sign! Since then I've been putting together a modest day wear ensemble. I've found this forum to be of great help -- and full of "sage advice" about the history and current state of "Highland Dress." I live in NE Ohio near Akron and would be interested in events in our area!
