    Greeting from CT

    Howdy, checking in from Manchester, Connecticut. Sent here by RK-REX (from another non-related board). Don't have a kilt, but I'd like to get one - ideally from my family's original area, but I don't know if Wales has tartans. Namely the Denbigh /North side of Wales (near Liverpool). Any help?

    Also wondering where in my area I can learn the pipes....

    Cheers!

    Welcome from Snellville Georgia. And yeah, watch out for those Welsh, I was thinking of Derek as well as McClef!

    Yes Wales does have tartans - you can see them at http://welshtartans.bpweb.net/

    There is a pic somewhere on here of me sporting the Welsh Roberts tartan cilt and I am about to post piccies of me in the St David's National (Dewi Sant Cenedlaethol) cilt.
