I wear a kilt, everyday, I'm proud of my kilts, glad it's been Tartan day,but for me that's everyday. I'm from Manchester and I'm not remotely Scottish! My grandfather was from Dumfirmline.

I got permission to wear a kilt to work today. Here I am in the Maritime Park's visitors center standing next to a first order Fresnel light that used to be on the Farallone Islands, 26 miles outside the Golden Gate.
Tartan is Stewart Old Sett and jacket is a Saxon jacket that I had converted.

Great looking outfit. One of the better jacket conversions as well (IMHO). Did you get any interesting comments from visitors to the park?

Thanks Liam. No, only one comment all day oddly enough but most of the day I was sitting behind the desk in the visitor's center and people couldn't tell I was wearing the kilt.

I normally work in the field, but today was an office day, which meant I could partake in Tartan Day also. None of my coworkers even batted an eye since I've been kilted at every company party since I've worked here.

Before I retired last fall, I too would kilt up for company parties, and Tartan Day.
Nice looking business outfit, btw.

Went to work kilted today and both my wife and boss said the same thing: you're confusing me, it isn't Friday! My boss said I should've told him about it before and he would've worn his tartan tie.
No photos, guess I failed in that regard.

I also was kilted the entire day Monday, and did not receive any questions about it at all. Of course, I am pretty much kilted all the time so that might explain it. So I guess to actually do something special for Tartan Day I need to purchase some tartan trews or some such. Perhaps THAT will raise some eyebrows!

I celebrated Tartan Day with our local Scottish Society on Saturday at the Apothecary Shop of the Scot-American patriot Dr./Gen. Hugh Mercer.
