It's also nice to see an American embracing a tartan from a small Canadian province. The East coast of Canada does have the Celtic feel, the weather will also remind you of Scotland, England and Ireland.
Thank's for shareing the pic's.
Enjoy the kilts, I know you will.

I got it because as a youngster of 7 or 8, I visited the maritime provinces. My Dad was a teacher and we had summers off. We made two or three, month or so long trips and one was to Eastern Canada. We came up from the NE coast of the US and crossed over to Nova Scotia on the ferry Bluenose. We ended traveling around most of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI. I will always remember the piper welcoming us as we came off the ferry in NS.
I actually went back a few years later with my grandparents and it rained 38 out of 40 days. My grandfather bought a flat cap in the NS tartan and I always fancied it. I will go back one day.
"Farewell to Nova Scotia, your seabound coast. Let your mountains dark and dreary be. For when I am far away from the briney, briney coast, will you never heave a sigh and a wish for me." (from what I remember as a kid)
