Was vacation with my family in the Thunder Bay, Ontario area and finally saw some kilts. (We live in Mpls/St. Paul, MN)

Ft. William (www.fwhp.ca) is a historical park that was originated by the NorthWest Company. Since NWC had Scottish founders, some of the guides / employees / reenactors / actors wore kilts. (3 of them actually - 1 of who played the pipes.) Sorry - don't know the tartan designs.

As I don't have a wearable kilt yet, I was not among the kilted that day. I didn't see any other kilts, either at Ft. William or anywhere else. A few times while hiking near the Kakabeca Falls and walking at Ft. William, I caught myself wondering just how much more comfortable I'd be in a kilt. Oh well - it may just be a while before I find out.

If you happen to travel to Thunder Bay, be sure to visit Ft. William - it is a well done site.
