Hello from Michigan...
WOW! I just found this site/forum after my wife and I were talking about me getting a new kilt. I discovered(ok, my wife discovered) my Scottish heritage when we got married. She's Irish and wanted to have a Celtic wedding, so after some research...I'm a Scot and purchased my first kilt. We couldn't find my family tartan in the US, so I chose to go with a Pride of Scotland - Modern kilt.
Anyway, that was five years ago and my wife and I have enjoyed several Renn Fairs and Highland Games, but it's time for me to get a new kilt...which led me to Google...which led me here!
So, thanks for a great site so far...I'm sure I'll be posting a few questions I have as I grow more in my passion of my heritage.

To Kiltedrennie: My wife and I have been going to MRF for the last five years...this year is when we decided that I needed a new kilt and found this site. Been loving it so far...and learning so much about kilts from the articles!
To Father Bill: LOVE the bananas! My wife is an ordained Wesleyan pastor and a traditionalist with her Irish heritage. God bless!

Hello, Celliottii, and welcome to X Marks from lower, slower, Delaware. Thank you for that interesting introduction. As you will continually discover, this is the definitive resource for those of us who wear the kilt (or want to) traditionally or not.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
