Oi(nk) lads 'n' lasses @ XMTS
Hi lads 'n' lasses,
Johnny Selkie from Norway land here.
(Optional reading)
After doing some research on my ancestral background while visting relatives in the coastral parts of the western Norwegian county of More and romsdal, I found out that I'm affiliated with the Sinclairs of Caithness through the Viking Jarls (Earls) of Orkney and Shetland who married into the Sinclair family long time ago. As of now I not offically an member of the Clan Sinclair association, but I hope to become one after I've written and sent them the membership application I'm working on at the moment (collecting all famillytrees, references etc takes time).
End of rant.
Anyways I decided to join this forum as I'm fairly new to kilts and my new found heritage which now allows me to wear something else than the bunad (norwegian national costume) which is less practical, more historical incorrect and way more expensive (With all the accesories they cost in the range of 3000 - 5000 pounds) than the highlandwear I've planned to acquire in the near future.
Johnny
