This forum has changed me...

This forum has changed me. It has got me to appreciate and value Highland Dress more, and has got me to wear it at times when I'm not required to wear it.

So at two Highland Games I've attended this year I've shown up kilted even though I'm not currently in a band. My piping buddies have asked me dozens of times "so, are you playing today?" and when I say that I'm not, they're a bit puzzled.

This weekend is our largest local Games, Costa Mesa, and I'll attend kilted, to the surprise/consternation of my piping friends. So be it!
(If I showed up in a Utilikilt it would really get them going!)

LOL, Richard. I have a hard time accepting non-tartan or non-tweed kilts as proper. They just don't work for me. I guess they don't seem Scottish to me. That being said, it might just be worth it for you to buy and wear a UK around your pipe playing friends just for the laugh you'd get out of them. If I had the money I'd buy you one myself.

Regards,

Brian
