    greetings from the beehive state

    Hello,

    My name is Brad Wind. I'm born/raised in Utah and have been exploring my family's celtic roots (Scottish for me, Irish/Welch for the missus)for about the last 10 years. Strangely, I seem to be the only one in my family to regularly wear a kilt or try to play bagpipes. My kids all know the differences between a kilt and other garments and my 5 year old son is very proud to walk kilted next to his dad.

    I apologize in advance for any (the many) typing errors I may make. it seems that as I get older the fingers get stiffer.

    Thanks to you good folks for having this inspired website. I'm certain it I'll be visiting here often (between fishing trips).

    Hello Brad,
    My kiddos were a little hesitant at first, hearing their friends poking fun at "guys in skirts". Now, they will stand and defend anyone wearing a kilt, and they're 8 and 11 years old . . I love my boys . They are quick to defend our heritage. I guess it's that Scottish blood again .

    At any rate
