I started participating in the SCA when I was 16 in High School, but really haven't been active at all since I started breeding my own clan. :-) I think I've been to maybe two events since the birth of our first over 3 years ago.
But that's actually where I started my research into historic Highland clothing. Wearing kilts in the SCA always bothered me. There seemed to be (and still is, I suppose) the assumption that anyone with a Scottish persona had to wear a kilt. When you consider that the first recorded evidence of the wearing of the feilidh-mhor (great kilt) dates to 1594, and that the SCA period supposedly ends at 1600 AD, then in reality very few of your Scottish personas should be in kilts. I did wear the feilidh-mhor on occasion, but most of the time wore a leine.
Have fun!
