    Hello from a Re-enactor

    I'm a Late-Roman, Romano-British and sub-Roman Brittonic to Anglo-Saxon period re-enactor based in York in the North of England. My family have been on the English side of the Welsh border since the 16th century and have an old British/Saxon name that spawned a long standing 'Welsh' one. There are Scottish variants of my name but aside from my aunt being born there, I don't have any immediate connection with Scotland that I know of.

    At the moment, I just have a modern style casual kilt of Scottish Pride commercial tartan by Lochcarron Weavers for fun. My main interests are in 17th century dress, weaves, checks and patterns and I'm most likely to aquire something untailored but I have an appreciation for Scottish military dress to the Victoran period.

    Welcome.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Well met The Jacobite period strikes me as a very interesting time to recreate and the highland kit in particular.

    Greetings from western Canada, and from a someone who has long studied the medieval theatre (and culture more generally) of York, and who misses the place deeply.

    Hello and a warm Celtic from Boston, Massachusetts. I do hope your teaching is in history. I think it is cool that I get to teach the very things that I am most interested in. I teach every Sunday whilst kilted. The students and their parents thought there was something very wrong the week I wore trousers. My sixth grade class this year is all boys for some luck of the draw. I am already getting very creative with the curricula, it should be a fun and rewarding year.
    There are many re-enactors on this board for many different periods and different parts of history. There are to my knowledge many more who lurk here.
    We are most delighted that you have chosen to join us.

    It's been my privilege to perform in the last two York Waggon Mystery Plays and my church is doing so again next year. Just let me know if there's any news I can give you from the old place
