Wonder if there is a Guinness record for most kilts owned by an individual?
If only I could win the lottery or something...
But it's great to hear of your plans for them which we hope will not be for a long time yet and that you will have many happy years of inspiring others to take up the kilt.
Eeeeek! Now I am REALLY worried! If Richard has been talking about me, I'd better keep a low profile - maybe even leave the country!! 
Guinness Book Of Records? I doubt I'd stand a chance! There is a chap in Scotland, I hear, who has over 200 kilts. Appart from the huge difference in number, he collects kilts from any source and regardless of whether they can be worn or not! My kilts were all acquired by me for ME to wear - most were tailored to fit and the remainder (with one exception) were as sold off the rack in my size. The exception being a Charity Shop purchase where the fit was perfect. Needless to say, a few of the earlier ones are now too small for me (curious how they can shrink just hanging in the wardrobe!), and these have been archived, but they are an important part of my Kilt Kollection.
Yes, I intend to be around for a few years yet.
