It's the way of the world... I'm still keen on an Angus District kilt (for my grandmother), a Cornwall (for my mother), and was interested in a MacLean hunting (my gal of 8 years is a MacLean) until I read this "membership is restricted to those that qualify under the "3-generation" rule which Clan Maclean respects, in common with other Scottish Clans." on the MacLean website http://www.maclean.org/maclean-registration.php. Oh well, at least it cuts down the options, which is probably a good thing.

I would be very keen on a Manx Hunting, I have a 5-yard wool kilt from USAKilts in my sights at some stage. Still, I do feel that the "one man, one kilt" attitude is correct, but I do have the "give me everything now!" attitude which is an unfortunate side-effect of modern life. If this is the cross I have to bear, it's a fairly lightweight and comfortable cross (hopefully with a sweet Argyll jacket to pad my shoulders).

If you do go for the Manx Blue, go for pleating to the blue stripe, I'm off to Tasmania next week, and will hopefully get some photos I can post.

Cheers,

Cameron
