Kilts in Aberdeen and Edinburgh?

[neloon]

Neloon,

I do quite like my bonnet, I'm afraid.

Well, perhaps delay wearing it until you see the lie of the land?
As for RGU, (my wife works there and is a graduate of Edinburgh, Glasgow and RGU) you must appreciate that it just doesn't have the history of the University of Aberdeen. I expect that you know that, for many centuries, there were as many universities in Aberdeen as in the whole of England (Kings College and Marischal College which amalgamated only in 1860)!
As for your original kilt question, you will have read the somewhat tempestuous thread on what Scots think about Americans wearing the kilt. Let's not go there again but do recognise that as an American outside the US you will be on a steep learning curve, kilted or not.
By the way most of the Pratts that I have come across have been from around Dundee. I hate to disillusion you but I suspect that the Pratt-Grant link is very tenuous. Sorry! The whole sept idea has been invented by commerce to sell more tartan but it seems to have caught on in the US in a big way.
