Hello gents,

As a new member of the forums I figured that I would say hello and thank you in advance for the good information that I have already gotten from just skimming the boards. I am sure that I will learn even more as I dig into things!

I am new to the wearing of the kilt, and I bought my first kilt earlier this year (MacKinlay Modern, naturally). I was planning to debut it at an event like the Salado Highland Games in Central Texas in the Fall, but as luck will have it I was invited to a wedding in St. Andrews, Scotland on the 1st of June. I have joked that the fact that I actually own a kilt was the only reason I was invited, but I will take it!

I am in the process of figuring out what exactly I will be wearing to my kilt debut, but right now I am leaning towards a PC jacket, white tux shirt with club collars, a black bow tie, a black formal sporran, black hose and green flashes. I may post a pic or two of the outfit to get some feedback in the near future.

Also, I would definitely appreciate any tips that those of you who live in Scotland about pretty much anything - places to find kilts and accessories, good pubs, places to see, etc. I will be in Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Stirling, and Iverness at different points in my stay.

Thanks again to all for being such a good resource for the wearing of the kilt!


Regards,

Scott
