As Rod Serling used to say, "presented for your consideration," Clann of the Wolf.
We're an international group, started by some Rendezvousers who wanted a way to celebrate their Scottish Heritage, and its grown from there. There are "septs" in numerous states, as well as Canada. The activity level depends on the local membership. On a larger level (national) we run Highland Games at most of the larger black powder Rendezvous, and we participate with the Army of King James in the Culloden reenactments (we portray the Camerons). Here's the website, give it a look.

Piper thanks for the website I will be looking into it forsure
Looks like a sept in Texas,would be the closest to me.

I wonder if I could get a local group going here?

[Piper]

Won't be any problem getting a local group/sept started, as long as you have interested people,we're always open to new faces. If you can't find anyone else to join, no problem in signing on by yourself. I know the former Chief of the Texas Sept. At the time he was down there they had a fairly large and active group. Not sure what the status is now.

You might consider starting a 79th New York Cameron Highlanders rre-enactors group. They were a union highland unit in the Civil War. I bet there are plenty of Confederate re-enactors in Louisiana that would love to fight some kilted Yankees.

Except the 79th New York never served in Louisiana, and wore Federal blue far more than they ever did the kilt.

Hi Piper do you have any links for people who sell reenactment clothing?

Thanks

Here's three to start with;
www.barkertownsutlers.com
www.jastown.com
www.gggodwin.com
And last but certainly not least is the Forums own Matt Newsome at the Tartans Museum. All dealers of good repute. However, as far as I know, only Missy Clarke at Barkertown or Matt Newsome would be able to sew you up a kilt.

I recommend Barkertown Sutlers for their affordable, period-accurate shirts.
