Helloooo, Norway calling!

[ixxo]

Figured I'd register her now that I've gotten all "kilty".. after 5-6 years or so of faffing about, I finally got a utilikilt in late May (Original, tan), and a week ago I got my second (Survival, Basil(green)).. getting this addiction thingie!!!!.

Wasnt really sure I'd _dare_ wear it in public but it turned out to be no biggie at all.

I went with the UK's because I liked their design best, ive been worried sick for 5 years they were gonna close down before I got around to getting one, checking their website like 2-3 times a week... and well .. as I have no scottish ancestry (that I'm aware of) wearing a tartan one just feels plain wrong...

Oh yea.. im 32 (subject to change) and live in Norway and I have a dog.

Glad you took the plunge. We also have at least four other members from Norway. You should all have a kilt night before you ice up again.

Ah, but your forefathers may have pillaged Scotland long ago...so pick a tartan...any tartan you choose!

from both southern US coasts!

(Still looking for my Norwegian grandfather's home.)

Norway and Scotland have a long and storied history...plus there is a Norwegian tartan:

Another appropriate tartan would the Sinclair tartan, since that clan also has a stong connection to Norway:
