Your Swamp Yankee handle cracks me up since I used to be a Yankee living in the swamps of western Richmond, VA....yup folks, they were there back in the early 70s...outer fortifications too. Probably all subdivisions now.

Anyhow....tell us more!

He's from Rhode Island.

I learned the term when I read Michael Bell's Food for the Dead: On the Trail of New England's Vampires about the Mercy Brown incident in the 1890s.

Hello

and a warm Celtic

from Effingham, New Hampshire. Tomorrow starts a weekend of Highland Games in Lincoln, New Hampshire, the other end of New England. There are quite a few Swamp Yankees on the board.
Come on up to Loon Mountain and take in some Heavy Athletics competition. If you do come by the Clan MacNeil tent. I will be there

Welcome "Swamp Yankee" from Pennsylvania's Dutch country Now that you have your first kilt the second will come faster and the third----

Welcome from Arizona (further south than Riverkilt). Single kilts tend to get lonely and will want more of their own kind to hang with. Butch is right, the second will come faster than the first and third faster than the second and before you know it, you've developed an addiction (of the good kind)!
