    You should wear the new tartan from Lochcarron entitled Highland Granite see http://kiltmaker.blogspot.com/2005/0...ochcarron.html

    kiltedpride: Now that is a striking tartan, it would look good with a full black leather rig, very nice!


    highlander_Daz: Sorry you had a bad experience in Aberdeen, but there's always good and bad wherever you go. I was up in Inverness just before New Year and had a great time attending a birthday party, and then had another party out on the Black Isle at Avoch.

    The 'bouly bashers' have calmed down a bit since the new laws were introduced at the start of the year...

    Ranald: I don't think I've ever seen a dedicated 'kilt night' here, for us that's more like a normal 'stagger night!'...

    Welcome aboard Granite. Don't worry about your questions. Not everyone here has been wearing the kilt for years. I have found the members here to have a wealth of information.

    Hi,

    My kilt will be on holiday in September, visiting San Francisco, Las Vegas & Los Angeles, which will make a change from dreich Aberdeen!

    It will be nice to go out for a walk without the risk of getting drookit or getting lost in the haar.


    Thanks for all the greetings!

    Yes, I'm Scottish, and Yes, I live in Scotland. My Username should give you a clue as to where exactly...if you know your stuff... ;)

    Best regards.
    Must be 'The Granite City', Aberdeen!

    Hey Granite, it's good to have you "voice-up"!

    Don't be apologetic about questions. That's how MANY members decided to go before purchasing a kilt. The information on this site will serve to save you money, save you headaches, and give you a good chuckle every now and then. Glad you're here!

    Amen to what Jimmy said about guys asking questions, and getting incredible answers on this forum.

    I originally became a member here so I could have a few questions answered. Next thing I know, a part of my life is revolving around this place.

    So, I just want to extend a warm welcome from Idaho, and encourage you to keep asking questions.:mrgreen:
