Jock-

I for one (though I am sure I can speak for others) truly appreciate what you have written in my short time in this forum. I have yet to own a kilt but when I am fortunate to acquire one of those splendid garments I know I will be able to wear it with the knowledge I have gained from the remarkable tutelage received on this site.

I don't necessarily feel I have to be slavishly devoted to traditional or customary Highland style but I do know that I need to be careful and respect the legacy of those who have been kilted since long before I was born 52 years ago. In addition to advice from native Highlanders such as yourself, and many others who frequent this forum, I have enjoyed the input of Sandy, Matt, Richard and many other of my fellow Yanks who may not be Highlanders by birth but most certainly are by heart.

Thank you Sir,

Brian
