    My pic.

    Just my avatar blown up. It's me in my Keith modern kilt. My wife doesn't like this as much as my other kilts because she says it looks too military. I'm ex-military which I guess explains why I like it the most ;)

    Must say I like it as well, am after a kilt in the Keith tartan myself. Is it a family tartan for you?

    Yes, my grandmother on my father's side. Ironically that side of the family is also loaded with Gunns! I'd like to think it was a Romeo and Juliet story, but it was probably more like the Gunn farm was within walking distance from the Keiths :rolleyes:

    My grandmother on my fathers side as well! Am less clear on any other connected lineage, she dies when my father was very young, he didn't even learn her name until he was in his fifties, so any heritage is tough to trace.

    Very nice! If I may offer a friendly suggestion, I would say hike up that sporran so it rides a bit higher. It'll make wearing a sporran much more comfortable.

    I know, I always where my chain belt low. I don't know why. I just figured I had funny hips ;)

    I can see where your wife said to military, but I have no problem with the look, except for the afore mentioned sporran and chains.

    You wife is right (not that it's a bad thing), would it please her to see you "dress down" to T shirt, short socks and no Balmoral?
