Greetings from a northern Robertson and welcome aboard.
Of the two Robertson tartans, the Hunting is my preferred also.

You may have seen these, but for a couple of interesting connections between the Black Watch and Hunting Robertson tartans, check here and here.

If you're looking at getting a 8 yd wool kilt, you can get a good deal at the KiltStore with the 18% XMarks discount (ends January 18th). For a 4 yd wool kilt, take a look at McRok.com - there's a 20% off coupon that ends December 31st, I can find the coupon code if you're interested. I used it and just bought a 4 yd 10 oz (sport kilt weight) in Robertson Hunting Ancient for $275. The Red Robertson is the only one of the two available in poly-vicose, so you'll probably want Black Watch - check with MacHummel at Canadian Casual Kilts, Rocky at USA Kilts, or Bear at BearKilts.com; all members here. MacHummel doesn't have a web site, but his 4-5 yd kilts start at $ 180 CAD (waiting for my Red Robertson, Pete!).

Can you tell I've thought about this a lot?;-)

Thanks for the warm welcome. Wompet, thanks for the info. I didn't think this would be easy ;-) .

Dave,

Welcome, my advise is to sit back and enjoy and read a bunch of great stuff here.

Welcome Dave. The Georgia crowd is growing. Make sure to get onthe Kiilt Map. Just do a search of the forum and you'll find the link.

Hey welcome aboard.

Go for the Robertson Htg modern colors pleated to the red stripe.

You'll never regret it.

I'm working on getting one myself asap. (my wife is a Robertson)

Be sure to let us know what you decided, and post a pic when you get it.

ALSO, I'm interested in competing in Highland games myself, so let us know how it goes. Maybe we should talk about training!
