| | | Hello from Edinburgh
Hello there, Just signed up today after lurking around for a bit. I'm a stay at home dad in Edinburgh, and got two kilts this past Christmas, in the dead of our coldest winter in a century or whatever... So, when my brother and his wife came over from the states I went kilted out on a day trip to Loch Ness. The bus driver asked if I had something to prove. Nope, just anxious to wear the kilt! 
Here's my kid H and I at the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick just a few days before. You wouldn't have believed how beautiful the day was out there just how nasty it was back in Edinburgh. 
I've also started knitting socks since I saw how expensive nice ones can be. I'm nearly done with my first pair, and am looking forward to having a whole drawer-full.  |

Hello Matt!
Allow me to be the first to extend a warm XMTS greetings to you. Congratulations on the kilts, and good job with the hose!

Welcome, from Inverness-shire. I agree it has been a bit on the chilly side, just recently.

Two smart looking kilts there in two very distinct styles.
I can't say it has been unusually cold here in the Scottish Borders this winter, I have experienced much colder winter temperatures in Scotland. What has been unusual is the prolonged period of unbroken cold weather with the temperature never having got above about 3 centigrade (38 fahrenheit) here since mid December. Usually the cold snaps only last a week or ten days at a time and are broken up by a few days of milder weather blowing in from the south-west.
