Where Aren't We Yet??

Ron,

You're not looking hard enough; I know for a fact that their are several reserve units of the South African Defence Forces that are Scottish, including the Capetown Highlanders, the Pretoria Highlanders, the Witwatersrand Rifles, etc. There are also St. Andrew's Societies, but remember: not every Scottish society has a web site.

I think the South Africa part is what he was getting at...

And that's what I was getting at as well; there is a large Scottish community in SA. Ron's post seemed to imply that the only Scottish group in SA were Scottish dancers.

Aye Todd,

For sure my resources are limited to Google. Was hoping that somehow, maybe from the kilt map Bradley tends, to figure out where there aren't any forum members, then seek Scottish groups - on line or otherwise - and just briefly and politely let them know the X Marks forum exists and hope someone checks us out and joins. Thus improving our worldwide spread and input of info.

I know this forum has been a Godsend to myself as a remote kiltie. I'm guessing there are other kilties clustered about in groups such as Scottish dance groups that maybe haven't risked wearing their kilts for routine daily wear.

And, a remote kiltie may just figure they are remote and not even realize this forum is available for entertainment, support, and friendship...guess we'll see if anything pops up from Argentina, Bolivia, or South Africa in the near future.
