Greetings,

A month ago I began research of proper tartans with the intention of getting righteously kilted. The research has become a journey - An endeavor that has made historical references and new understandings impossible to ignore. As a born Yank, this is a very exciting occupation. Thank you all for being here. A special thanks' to Mr. Ashton for allowing opportunity to participate and for pointing up XMTS is a community - vice a mere information gathering stop-over. This has been proven as research of an unrelated interest electronically led back to an 'X' member post.

Happy to be here.

Thanks' Again.

How is it an ignorant foreigner may identify with Scottish heritage? Perhaps via father's blood, intuition, or psychic osmosis... May be the non-local omniverse provided a molecule of air once exhaled long ago from a man who's anonymous mace shattered bone fragments blend unrecognizably with rusty trinkets buried beneath damp and cold Highland turf -
