Hi folks, I’m a Scot, originally from Paisley, now living in Tuscany, with my wife Libby. We moved here last year to be near our daughter who is now planning a move back to Scotland, do you thing she is trying to get away from us?
I wear a Stevenson Tartan (my family name) kilt made to measure by Hector Russell in Glasgow that my family got me for my graduation from Glasgow School of Art.
I tend to wear it casually most of the time but do have a Harris Tweed and a grey tweed jacket and waistcoat, which I got to walk my daughter down the aisle.
I’m into the outdoors in a big way, flyfishing, walking, camping, bushcraft etc., and I’m a bit arts ‘n’ crafty.
Found the forum as I’m going to have a go at making a X-Kilt, need to get nore skills on the sawing machine first though.
The local motorbike club hear in the Arezzo area wear a Stewart kilt as their club uniform but accept me in my Stevenson.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing my kilted experiences from Italy.
Ciao StJon
