    Home after 48 years

    This summer I return home after leaving Scotland with my family as a young child for the first time. It had been 48 years, what an experience! I don't know why I took so long to go home. It has awaken a desire to learn about my heritage and culture. Ordered a kilt that arrived last Friday. This place just seems like the place to learn.

    Hello John,

    I forgot to ask: why don't you tell us more about your new kilt?
