Hello there,

I have recently learned of this forum. I started wearing a kilt when I joined a highland regiment in the 1970's. In civilian life, I never thought of wearing anything that made me stand out. However as I got older I became more comfortable with my family history, and chose my maternal clan (my father was Irish and French but my mother was Scottish). I ordered my first clan kilt (in contrast to the military kilt) four years ago.
