Robin,

Try emailing Brian Wilton, STA director of operations, at admin@tartansauthority.com. I've always gotten very quick replies from him, and get regular membership information (i.e. notifiation when newsletters are published,etc).

Just email me if interested.

Matt,
Would it be possible to order two more of the passports?

Thanks,

Holy Moly! Did you see the chick on that site? I forgot what I went there looking for!

I never did find anything about the passport, but who cares! Thanks, Cajun!

Yes, she is lovely, but I clicke on her (does that sound dirty?) in the STA website link and the tartan she is wearing is to help an endangered bird, the Capercaillie. If you follow the link, you will find that Lochcarron has done a tremendous job of developing a tartan that really represents the bird.

I have to admit I don't understand what the interest is in buying a special booklet just to keep notes in. Can't you use any kind of tablet of blank pages? Can't you keep a Word document on your pc? Why do you have to spend 5 or 6 bucks just to make notes? The main topic on this site seems to be "How can I do such-and-such for as little money as possible" and here are people looking to spend money on something that doen't add any real value to anything, at least as far as I can see. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Like Planopiper I can't work out why a kilt needs a passport, it the wearer that does!

Sure it's great having a record of the history of an individual kilt but that's different to a passport...

I hope to pass my kilts along to my children and or grand children, I think although you are correct that a notepad would do the job, I think the passports add the touch of class that a garment like a kilt deserves. My xmarks passport includes things such as my godson's christening that I wore it for, parades that I wore it for before I received my band kilt. Things that when my descendants would appreciate knowing about. My bicentennial kilt will have the name of an instructor in my RCIA class who before she passed away asked if I would be wearing a kilt to the Easter vigil. She really enjoyed seeing me in kilts and has helped me progress along in my progress to become Catholic, I want to honor her and will sew a piece of fabric in the waist band of that kilt so that she is with me on that Easter Vigil. This will be documented in my passport so that when whoever has my kilt decades from now will understand why that name is permanently affixed to the kilt. A notebook would contain the same information, but could get lost, when future generations see something that looks like a passport is come across while moving or packing up things they may take the time to look at the passport and figure out what it is. I think that is pretty special, for five or six dollars it is worth it for me to have something that isn't going to be over looked. I figure I spend 300-400 dollars on kilts to last a lifetime, and extra five or six bucks isn't a big deal.
