Kilt Lurking
Hello, Finally decided to register since I have lurked for quite a while now and had correspondence with Rocky (USA Kilt) and Matthew (New House Highland). During some geneology research the past year I got more involved as I was working my mothers side of the family. Her father was a great man I respected very much. His family name is Williamson with a middle name taken from his mother of ONeal...first name Malcolm. Dark haired, dark eyed....to find that his grandfather had taken a native american wife which might explain how he could be pasty white under his shirt but dark as oiled leather otherwise.
Anyhow....it appears the links point towards the Clan Gunn....though I have not been able to find any definitive links in the Highlands from official records. His family settled in the Virginia and Carolinas....and many Scots-Irish the Carolina's.
My first kilt is a SportKilt...that I have mainly worn around house...or to an annual motorcycle gathering I help support. My next will be a 13-16oz box pleated kilt as I always lean back to more traditional....whether is my hunting with hand made longbows, selbows and arrows...or yearning to build a birchbark canoe to replace my glass workhorse.
Thanks again for the wealth of information shared here...and hopefully I can continue my search albeit through my maternal lineage.
I am a retired military veteran...born and raised in Charleston SC...outdoorsman, husband, father. Thanks again.

Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.
