Day 2 – 9/11

Day 1 was a travel day to Scotland. My flight left Richmond to Philadelphia to Glasgow. That evening I meet my tour guide, John and the other 45 travelers.

I had signed up for the trip last year when Matt Newsome posted about the Scottish Tartans Museum sponsorship of it.

Fellow traveler, Charles Coburn a Board Director of the Museum signed up for it. We agreed to share a room to avoid the single supplement charge. It would be great buddying up with Chuck, another kilt wearer. Chuck reserved his kilt for dinner wear and I will be kilted through out.


I’m wearing my USA Kilt semi-trad in Stewart Black. It was my workhorse and well suited for traveling. My sporran is my Thorfinn #80 perfectly suited for travel with it large carrying capacity.

Our first stop was Alloway to visit the Robert Burn’s cottage and museum.
