I made my University's newspaper in my kilt at one of the on-campus Robbie Burns events: http://www.excal.on.ca/cms2/index.ph...=7900&Itemid=2

Lookin' good! I'm surprised that a sgian dubh is acceptable on campus, though.

Good for you! The lady looks very nice in her skirt and boots, too.

I wasn't the only person wearing one and the piper at the other event had a dirk too!

Very nice! So, was the haggis homemade, Caledonian Kitchen or some other make? I had a girlfriend who made me my first haggis back in high school. It was disgusting, but what did I know?

I'm not sure where the haggis came from, though I believe there are several Scottish butcher shops in the Greater Toronto Area... regardless, it was tasty!
