28, when I first went to live in Scotland. My first kilt was a second hand "white" royal stuart tartan and eventually I got a proper one in my own tartan.

I was 30.

It was a production of Macbeth and I was stunned at how comfortable that Black Watch tank made me feel even if it was too long.

I had my first kilt when I was 7. It was for Highland dancing at primary school. I've never looked back since and have always loved wearing one. I really got into it in a big way when backpacking as a student. I find it sensational for walking the hills.

It's an old thread, but still fun for the forum to have.

I hadn't made one yet before my mom had made a cotton or linen buchanan "kilt" on me. When I could walk, I moved up to a wool Royal Stewart. I'll have to dig out the pictures of my first Highland Games.
