I've been lurking/reading/learning on the site for the past month or so an; knowing that I've caught the kilt wearing bug I decided I should join up and introduce myself.

I've been living in Waynesville NC for the past 9 years having moved here from Scotland; born in Helensburgh but lived most of my teenage though to mid/late 20s in the small town of Largs.

One of the first question I'm asked when people realise my origins is "do you wear a kilt?" to which my answer so far has been no. However, I'm getting married in September and of course decided that I need to get myself kilted up for the big day.

Now that I've been reading up on the subject I've found myself getting more and more interested and I know that after the wedding I'll be introducing the kilt as part of my everyday wardrobe (I'd be wearing it already but the wife-to-be said it would be like her wearing her weddng dress before the day).

It's good to be here and I expect to keep on learning
