Kilts at Epcot?

[macwilkin]

Was at Epcot in June 2006 for my honeymoon. Went to Epcot in my Black Original UK. The shops in "Great Britain" didn't appear to have any real kilts. Just the touristy things of coats of arms, anything and everything with the word "Scotland" on it. Also lots of Scottish food. Bought some chocolate covered Walkers short bread in the shape of Mickey's Head. Saw a few tartan items like hats, scarves, etc. but in the normal 6 well known names/tartans. Royal Stewart, Black Watch, etc. Nothing really custom except the coats of arms/family heritage stuff. Which you order and come back in a few hours to pick up. Enjoy!

Ah, the good ol' "family crest bucket shop" strikes again!

Yes, those people annoy me greatly, as well. Arms are individual to the armiger, not anyone who happens to have the same family name. In some cases, you might be entitled to the arms, if you're the eldest direct male descendent of the armiger, but in most cases, you'd know if you were.

I think the fascination many Americans have with nobles and royalty borders on the pathological. We're a nation of peasants; more people should accept that with pride.
