Just Getting Started, Full Speed Ahead!

Hello all! From a CT Kilter,

I have been very fascinated with finding my Scottish heritage ever since my father started digging (for my mother, he is not a Scot) years ago. Turns out, my grandfather is a Dair but my grandmother is a Doig. So long story short, and not by way of paternal (twice

) looks like I'm a Drummond or a small part.

After reading many of the posts here about which tartan you should wear, and how, why, if! I decided I liked the Drummond of Perth so I bought a kilt! Two actually, a 5 yard and an 8.

Now after wearing them many times (yes, even to go grocery shopping) I bought a 3rd, and a 4th, 5th and 6th (many of these in PV for wash and wear, all of them different, or just what I liked). What I need to find now is a dry cleaner that won't ruin my wool kilts! The search goes on...

But I digress, without all the help I learned here, I fear my kilt wearing would have been pinched by the kilt cops or worse.

So, Thank you!

Happy Kilting

Welcome from another newbie nutmegger.

Come on down to Scottish Dave’s Pub in Clinton sometime. Kilts aren’t an everyday sight there, but they’re not uncommon, either. There is a ceilidh led by the Shoreline Fiddle Club every first Friday evening, Whisky Club on the last Thursday lately followed by The Wandering Fiddlers doing Celtic music, much of it a singalong. Dave is a chef from Glasgow and makes fantastic food (but always check to be sure the kitchen is open before traveling any distance). There are Burns Night events later in the month.
