Greetings...From your Tennessee neighbor. My father is from Hickory and we drive through Ashville everytime we go over. Beautiful area. One of these days I'm going to stop and look around.
Welcome! Since you are from Montreat, I am sure you are familiar with the Montreat Pipes and Drums -- a very good pipe band.
There is a lot Scottish happening in your area -- a short drive away from the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, the Foothills Highland Games in Hendersonville, plus all the other Games in NC, TN, and GA that are close to you.
Have you been to see the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, yet? If you are not familiar, you can learn a lot about the history of the kilt in the museum, and our gift shop can help supply anything you need to wear with your kilt. www.scottishtartans.org
Tartan Kilter, welcome from another of your neighbors across the border in North Georgia. The Sr. Pastor (he's a real Scot) at our church spent part of last summer at Montreat as well, I've never been there, but I hear nothing but good things about Montreat.
