The Kirk'n is an American custom, most Scots are not familiar with the Kirk'n. The service is to celebrate and remember the heritage and evolution of the Presbyterian Church in this country from the Church of Scotland.
I've been giving some thought to this. I've been asked by a friend perform a blessing on his scarf. I don't really know much of anything about tartan kirk'n. I was thinking of writing a pagan kirk'n ceremony. Can you point me in the direction of maybe an out of the ceremony online for me to adapt? Yes, I'm lazy.
