Thanks for the warm welcome!
Some good reading on this forum...perfect for someone like me.
Next summer I'll visit "The Open" (Brittish Open Golf Championship) in Liverpool...afterwards 2 weeks Scotland (more shopping  )
As soon as I get my kilt I'll post some pictures (the sporran has to wait till xmas...ah well a couple of weeks more won't do any harm after 45 years).

How can you lose playing in a kilt? Sounds like you're well hooked now.
Visions of you in your kilt, and traditional wooden shoes with golf cleats winning all and starting a new fashion trend.

Yes...I'm afraid I'm hooked, my wife thinks it's all extremely funny (another male midlife follie)...that will change when the credit card bill will blast a hole in our bank acount. :mrgreen:

It never is too late to be kilted!
Glad you made it over to the comfortable side!

It took you 45 years? Try over 60. I have Scottish connections on both sides of my family. I'm 62 years old noq and I purchased my first kilt after attending my first Richmond Highland games in Oct 2003. Here I was wearing my usual jeans, and envying everyone wearing kilts when my wife says, out of the blue, "you should get a kilt for yourself". The rest is history.

Welcome Robin,
It took me 45 years as well. I have roots in Scotland, whilst avoiding the draft in Holland, I planted 10,000 trees in Oban.
My parents are from the Hague.
All the best.
Hmm Ron I may just have to pull out those wooden clogs out of the closet...may not be bad...interesting look....
