I received two kilt pins for Christmas.

One is the Scotland the Brave (lion) kilt pin from Scottishkilts.net.

This is a distinctive, large and heavy kilt pin. Although I put it on an 11-ounce pv kilt, it is probably better suited for a heavier weight kilt.

The other is a US Air Force kilt pin from Alexis Malcolm Kilts.

This is a nice kilt pin that is well worth the money ($36). The sword portion of the pin is a pewter art kilt pin made in Scotland. The USAF emblem and surrounding wreath are added by a jeweler in Florida (according to Alexis Malcolm). Alexis is the only source I know of for US military kilt pins. She has them for all services, including the US Coast Guard.

I got some good knee-high socks from my mother, and also a nice sweater, which I suppose isn't directly kilt related, but my mother suggested that it would go well with some of my kilts. She was right!

i didn't get anything kilt related, but i did give a kilt and some kilt related items. my dad has a homemade ancient kilt that he wears to renaissance festivals, but that's the extent of his kilted life. i have in my possession an acrylic blackwatch kilt that i got off ebay that no longer fits so i told him that he could have it if he wanted. at first he wasn't too hip on the idea, but a couple of months ago he called and asked if he could still have it and could he borrow some of my extra accessories so that he could wear them to my sisters wedding this summer (now the kilt i offered him isn't a formal kilt, but it does look pretty decent for what paid for it and it is a very casual wedding so i think he'll look fine). so for xmas i gave him the kilt along with a pair of kilt hose, black watch flashes, a leather day wear sporran, and a sgian dubh. he was psyched and i think he'll look great at the wedding, and hopefully he'll wear it other times as well. :-D it truely is better to give than to recieve...

My wife got me a gorgeous black leather bomber jacket that I'd had my eye on. It will look great with my kilts...sort of a "Duncan" from MOTG casual look.

Not actually kilts but...

My sister got me the book "Illustrated History of Scotland" by Chris Tabraham and photographs by Colin Baxter. Really great book! I recommend...

Nothing directly kilt related for me. But I did get some cash, which I am going to use to get a kilt pin and a some new kilt hose, and put the rest towards another kilt.

The boys and I are wearing our Robertson Red kilts from USA Kilts, Buzz Kidder sporrans, etc. and they are great. Mine is a semi-Traditional, as is my oldest's, the others are casuals.

Kudos to Rocky and Kelly, who get full marks from the buyer!

We just got back from the store where the boys relished in the attention without showing attention they got.

The only thing I'm missing is a kilt jacket.

Thanks be to God for such a great set of in-laws.
