Welcome Rex. If you get a kilt night set up, let us know. Adam & I have tried a couple of times. Are you going to be at Carrollton?
May 12-14

This is the first that I've heard of it, so I hadn't planned to, but now I will consider it for a day trip. Do they point fingers and snicker at people in UKs at these affairs? I so want to fit in, you know.

Regards,
Rex.

I've never made it to Carrolton myself, but I've sold enough UK's at the Cincinnati celtic fest that I would assume that a few would be in evidence down there.

On the other hand check out Stillwater Kilts and get your first tartan in time for the festivities. It's always good to have a tartan (even a fairly cheap one) for those occasional slightly dressy events.

Yes, tartans seem to be very helpful when in the "bonnie knees" competitions...

the UK outfit looks great...and so does the fireplace.

Looks sorta bungalow style with those tiles above the firebox.

The house is a ca. 1930 Tudor Revival, which seems somehow befitting a man in a kilt.

Adam earlier noted the Rookwood tiles, which are common in houses of this period in the area. The Rookwood Pottery company, based in Cincinnati, was an important producer of tile and pottery during the Arts and Crafts movement, as those who follow PBS's Antiques Roadshow probably know.
