    from Chicago. There's quite a community of kilted folk in Georgia. I've had the pleasure of joining them a couple of times, most recently for a Burns Supper.

    Welcome to XMarks, from a fellow Georgian!

    Will you be attending the Stone Mountain highland games, this weekend?

    http://www.smhg.org/

    It's a heck of a good time, and if you want to learn about kilts, aside from joining this board, going to these games is your best bet!

    That sounds great. Be sure to stop by the Scottish Tartans Museum tent, which is directly behind the main stage. We'll be looking forward to seeing you.

    While you're in Murphy, go by the Museum in Franklin some time. You'll learn just about everything you need to know, and will enjoy the experience.

    Welcome aboard from just down the road in Marion.
