Hello all.

My name is William from central Texas and happy to be here! I’m a latecomer to kilt wearing but am trying to be as informed as I can while I get used to the ins and outs of kilts and accessories. Bear with me if I ask silly questions, but I will scan the FAQs to see if answers already exist.

I’ve got one question that I haven’t found an answer for as of yet so rather than create a separate post for it, I’ll drop it here.

I’ve gotten my first traditional kilt and the finisher is a bit of a mystery to me. It’s an 8-yard kilt but the only label I can see says “Hand Finished in Motherwell”. The tartan is a privately held registered tartan and I don’t know who was used for any of the manufacture. It’s not a really big deal as it is a beautiful kilt, but I’m a bit curious if there’s anything to be learned by the lone label.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard !!

I also live in Central Texas !! I'm in NW Austin, near Cedar Park.

I'm planning to attend the Highland Games in about 2 weeks. I'll be there Sunday Nov 3. I've never been before, but looking forward to it.

Hi there! I'm a bit further north. I'm in the Killeen area. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the Austin festivities, but I will be at the Salado Highland Games November 8-10.
