Wrestling with my conscience...

Arlen, just to confuse you more....check out my topic "welsh cilts rule!!!" It's the Pride of Wales (official) tartan from the welsh tartan center. If you dont go for that one however, I do agree with everyone else that the 2nd kilt is quite nice.

here's the link to that thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/w...lsh+cilts+rule

The Heritage of Wales has a very large sett Arlen - I would personally recommend the Prince of Wales.

Which, incidentally, was the tartan I was wearing when Wales won the Grand Slam!

And you could always call the Prince of Wales Duke of Rothesay

You mean, in Scotland they pay you to get beaten up? and enough to buy several kilts?

I am there, dude.

Be sure and buy a comfy kilt to wear for the flight over.

Arlen, between the two I like the second one, however I like what Trefor had to say on the mater, the Prince of Wales tartan is lovely.

I can't give you advise on which kilts, you are far more knowledgeable than I. But being married for almost forever, 1 bit of advise.... when one comes into a small windfall of cash...mums the word. Your new found funds might become kitchen curtains which are far more needed than another kilt.

I am not encouraging deciet to a newly married young man but you will find out a married couple has two piles of money...hers & ours.

I also like the second tartan but the pic looks like there is no center stripe in the apron. I hope it is just the angle of the picture and not sloppy workmanship.

Go for it! If you like that one, by all means wear it as a tribute to Diane.

As I read it, all the "Welsh" tartans (and other tartan-like weaves :-) are fashion tartans, anyway. I like two of them that are named after my family lines, which means almost but not quite nothing. It will mean something to me.

My dead grandmother visited me from beyond the grave last night. After speaking with her Welsh ancestors - she told me you should buy the kilt.
