    I voted for Washington DC, Why your wondering I looked at the facts. Yes there is a Int'l airport, shopping, the sightseeing. But there is one this that was missed, access to kilt shops. Rocky's shop is only 3 hours away. There is one kilt shop in Manassas which is 45 mins south of the city.
    www.Kiltednation.com just throwing out there some ideas to think of.

    Semper Fi,

    The scottish shop in Alexandria is definitely a mixed bag. It's oddly enough a combination of scotish clothing / accessories and a tobacco shop.

    The problem is that it doesn't seem to be a very good tobacco shop. It's doesn't smell of fine cigars and pipe tobaccos - it reeks of stale cigarettes. I'd be a bit worried about buying a kilt or jacket there and getting the smell out. Now don't get me wrong folks - I smoke - but good grief that shop absolutly REEKS. The building is most likely well over 200 years old and hasn't been aired out since it was built.

    They do indeed have a good selection however and The Kilted Nation is well worth a visit if for no other reason than to support a new contemporary kilt store in a very unlikely location.

    Whoa! When a smoker is offended by smoke stink - that's a bad stink!!

    Last time I was in there, probably about 1969, if its the same store, I was still smoking heavy so don't recall that part.

    Thanks for the heads up.
