My interest goes back to 1986 when the original Highlander film came out. I have always been drawn to the medieval period and the movie just sucked me in. In 1990, I met my wife who is from Dublin Ireland and we began attending the CNY Scottish Games - mostly because we both love the bagpipes. Well after a little research we discovered that my Mother's maiden name (Russell) was Scottish & had it's own tartan. My wife made me a kilt from a plaid that was close to the Russell tartan and a few years later purchased the "real McCoy" from Scotland Yard in Kentucky for Christmas - they have a great payment plan!
Two years ago we picked up a kilt for my (then) 6 year old son at our games and he loves wearing it!

Slainte,
