Two Telling comments? The Answer Perhaps?

After reading this thread and the 'Wearing a Kilt in Scotland' thread, I've come to a decision. I had been counting my pennies trying to come up with enough money to make the EXPENSIVE trip to Scotland next year for my clan's 5-year gathering which will coincide with clan Gunn's 3-year gathering at the Halkirk Games in Caithness. I don't think I will bother now. I will spend that money right here in the good old USA, thank you very much.

I'd make the trip...perhaps just not with the idea of wearing "traditional" dress in mind.

If you've never been, it's worth the money! The people are fantastic. The country's beautiful beyond belief.

I was there for the first time in May this year, and I'm going back in August, just because I need to. I can't even really afford it (but that's what credit is for!).

Go, you'll love it.
