Kilts?

[gator68]

I married a Scot, and got married in her dad's kilt. MacDonald. Kilts are fun. Many a good night has started out in a kilt.

I don't wear it much anymore. I do have a basket hilt. I've made and sold various dirks and sgian dubhs over the years. I think all I have left at the moment is the sgian my wife gave me when we got married.

Clan Cameron. No kilt. Been to Scotland twice.

 

[Cyrano]

Clan Robertson. No kilt, looking for the Sghean Dubh.

I have a cousin who has been in Scotland doing research. Turns out the family is from the Orkneys. I'll get more details when he gets back.

I've a sgian dubh and a dirk, no claymore yet (probly this summer) or kilt.

Yesterday I stopped at a gas station in Harlowtown MT which is a small farming ranching community in the middle of no where. While there up drove a beat up ranch truck and out gets an guy in his 60s or so and starts filling up wearing a kilt. This wasn't no dress up kilt, but a everyday working kilt that he probably regularly wears. Got to admire a man who carries on something for real instead of ceremonial. I would guess he is a sheep rancher as are many of the old time Scots in MT.

Kilts as uniforms

Thought this was funny... Wife sent it to me today, by chance.

A couple of Scottish Soldiers meet an Italian woman in June, 1944.

I was motorcycle camping in the Rocky Mountian Nat'l Park in 2005.

Just about all the males in the campground were wearing Kilts preparing for the 'Highlander Festival' which is big doin's around there.

Clan Sinclair. I don't have one, bought one for my son when he was in high school, with all the trimmings, still fits. More recently, rented one for my grandson who's 3 yrs old. He was ringbearer at his uncle's wedding. He used his sporran to stash Oreos.

Those are some real pretty skirts.......lol

:ducking now:

 

[NCTexan]

I'm Dutch and Scottish (Gordon) but don't get the whole ancestral pride thing... especially the dressing bit. Figure I'd look pretty stupid in a kilt with wooden shoes.

Carlyle, sept of the Bruce clan. We were low land Scots from down south. Us Carlyles figured heavily in the cross border transfer of cattle 5 or 6 hundred years ago. We were reivers...cattle rustlers who dropped down into England to practice our trade. Low land Scots wore leotards rather than kilts and no, I don't have any.

Not probably as funny as you would in a short skirt made of wooden slats and woolen booties I'll bet. But I get your drift. My parents were Icelandic, although I was born in Canada. I have resisted mounting horns on my motorcycle helmet. So far.

When I hear Pipes, something goes off deep inside of me; think it's in the genes?

 

[captorquewrench]

Clan MacNeill (but we use the McNeil spelling) and no, I obviously do not wear a kilt. That's proper menswear, but I can fill a skirt quite nicely.
