kilts in Scotland

The answer is 6. It's just never the same 6 guys two days in a row. Next question, please? You, the man in the size 5 hat in the back of the room. It's your turn now.

Thanks, Thats all I really needed- looks like I really opened a large can of worms! Interesting thread huh?!

Jock Scot and other residents of Scotland. I thank you for your answers to questions that are not a regular part of the daily radar screen.
I hope to visit Scotland in the near future. I will only be wearing the one tartan while I am there. One of the purposes of the visit is to visit and be properly measured for a full Prince Charlie kit. I will only be visiting for a fortnight, and expect that the bespoke kit to take several weeks to be completed and shipped to me here in the U.S.
My mother's clan tartan is fairly rare, and as such will be a custom weave. Loccarron (pardon the spelling) says about 3 months lead time. I know that during the visit my kilt will be a different tartan than the one to be shipped to the U.S. Probably the tartan that may be linked way back on my father's side. The self colour kilts will remain on this side of the pond where they belong.
Thank you again for the insight into your cultural vision.
