    Great job, and I've long loved the MacPherson red sett.

    If you wanted to really hook 'em though, you should have all watched Rob Roy instead of Braveheart. That scene at the standing stone. . .

    Can't argue with that--Jessica Lange at her finest. Although, I would note that due to Jessica Lange being on top, you don't actually see much of Rob Roy's kilt, now do you?

    Nice job. And I think it was an excellent idea to give them some guiding literature with the kilts.

    I hope you warned them about the power the kilt has with women and advised them to use it wisely and for good.

    That's just too cool! Two new kilties in the rabble! Did you also pass along our forum info (rhetorical question, of course!)
