A Grand Day to Be kilted

[Richland]

Thanks for the nice comments on my story. This brings up an interesting related point. How many of you plan on being kilted when you climb to the pearly gates and meet St. Peter? Not something we like to think about but it is innevitable. I'm sure there are a few of you who have planned a kilt to be your departure attire.
All the best, Richland

Since I wear the kilt as my everyday attire, and since whenever I go, I'll be wearing a kilt (unless it's in my sleep), I'm certain that however I'm displayed afterwards I'll be in a kilt. It's not as though anyone will go out and buy a trouser suit for me!

Hey Richland...

My fond hope is to enter Heaven (if there is one, or if I get a ticket there) the way Creator made me...and unashamed of being unashamed about the most comfortable of all suits...

I have told my very Scottish wife that if she does not bury me in a kilt she can expect to be haunted. I do not believe in that sort of thing, but it got the point across.

That is a wonderful tribute! Thank you for sharing a special and private moment with us.

As for being laid to rest in my kilt. I don't know! On one hand I would like to meet my maker in my finest of fine, but on the other hand it may be nice to pass it on for the generations to come...

A kilt is very comfortable, so why not be comfortable as one is crossing over? It only makes sense.

Wearing a kilt (perhaps, of a particular tartan) is one of the ways to honor another person. I hope to get a hunting MacLean to honor my wife. She already has a Farquarhson kilted skirt to honor me.
Not many people, today, seem to understand that we can honor others and events by how we dress. I guess, I grew up in another age where what you wore indicated your regard for others or an event.

Another interesting point. you can wear a specific kilt which holds special meaning based on the Tartan or design. This would be a tartan which Is not particular to your clan? I have a few friends Who own the USMC tartan kilts and plan on wearing them on thursday for the Marine Corps Birthday. Honoring a Relation or aquaintance by wearing their Tartan is a great tribute.
As my friend sewed his fathers ashes to the wind on Sunday, the wind blew some back upon his Kilt. He said will never have the kilt cleaned because it now has a part of his father in the weave. Now there is a kilt with some special meaning.....
