Hello from Nova Scotia

Well met Julia. I also have "nature's demon companions" at home. I can not imagine kilting either of my girls. They do love to lounge on top of my kilts, if I have them off or on. I suggest you hide any sporrans that might look like prey or a toy from them. We don't even talk about what they will do to feathers. Welcome from Oxford, MS.

Hi Julia and a warm welcome from sunny Queensland!

Worth checking with your Burns' Night Supper whether kilts for ladies are welcome - when I was in the UK, at a couple I went to, they were definitely not.

Thanks for the welcome, WillowEstate

I should clarify that for my annual burns night event, I actually help cook and serve the meal. That being said, there are always plenty of kilted ladies as guests as well. The same group of us have been hosting this meal for years. We are members of St. Margaret of Scotland Church here, and as you might imagine, we are a very popular spot to host all sorts of Scottish events simply because of the name of the Church( we also host an annual Tartan Day dinner , and Stewart Clan dinner) The folk who attend all these events are very warm and welcoming and kilted ladies are always welcome. Part of the fun is trying to recall which Tartan is which ( Except for the Stewarts, obviously, which we have down pat)

Hi Julia,
That sounds just wonderful, all sorted then!

I did actually make a very quick, rough sporran as well and feathers were, in fact, involved. However I think by the time I got to the point of putting that on him, he was so angry that focusing his attack on me looked like a much more appealing choice. :P
