My introduction

**Ziggs** · 29th June 05, 05:57 PM

Hey guys. My name is Zak and I am new to X Marks the Scot. I am from Reading, Pa and I recieved my first kilt last X-mas as a gift from my mom and future step father. It was made by Rocky and Kelly of USA Kilts. It is a Douglas Modern philabeg. I am currently awaiting my newest kilt, a Scottish National Tartan traditional kilt. Now no, I am not Scottish. I am actually of Irish family. Not much Irish blood but enough to be proud of. I am proud to be part of this culture and lifestyle.

Hi Zak and welcome to X Marks!

Welcome to the forum, Zak!

Welcome from another Pennsylvanian (Pittsburgh)!

Welcome Zak! I like your folks' taste in tartans and hope you enjoy it too. Being from PA you are certainly among friends (no pun intended) - a whole bunch on the forum hail from that state.

Truth be told, I'm jealous

and may have to think about relocating. Seems there're more members in Tasmania than in the NYC area. [Graham - please note the use of 's' and not 'z' ;-) ] Or they're just uncommonly quiet for being around 'The Big Apple'. It's eerie...

Yes, I too, find your choice of tartan pleasing.

Tis a most beautiful tartan. Not some loud red abomination, nor canary coloured eyesore.

Welcome to the board! I echo the sentiments of the others in your choice of tartan.

Welcome Zak,

If there be Irish in your family tree chances are high that there be Scots lurking there in places you haven't found yet. Keep looking ;) ....you'll likely find a wee bit of Scot blood.

Hello from another Pennsylvanian! (I live in Gettysburg.) If you ever want to get together for a kilt night in a central location (york, lancaster, etc.) let me know! :o

Greetings from West Caln, Chester County PA ... looking forward to meeting up at a local Kilt night. Brittinghams or Kildare's is just a hop, skip and a jump from you! We don't all go down to Center City Philly for kilt nights ... there are more than enough in Montgomery and Chester County as well!

Would love to see one in Lancaster soon as I am about 15 miles from Lancaster.... hint hint.
