Hello from Edmonton

Hello Everybody.

I am from Edmonton or more specifically from St.Albert. I am 37 years old and have finally gotten my first kilt since my days as a wee lad when with much teasing my Gran forced me to wear one. Now that I am older I more enthusiastically embrace my Scottish heratige. My family is a bit muttish , Stewart, MacInnis and MacKinnon with a little german thrown in.

I decided for my first kilt to go with the Black Stewart, the royal I find a bit too common.

Well hopefully I wasn't too long winded. Looking forward to some great conversations and getting to meet like fellows from my area.

Welcome aboard to another northern neighbor.

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you'll fit in quite well.

Welcome aboard, always glad to have a new member.

Don't feel muttish, we are all in the same boat. I've got Stewart, Keith, Bruce, Brodie, McAlpin, Cameron, Brown and Campbell ancestors to name just a few. It's a heredity thing, we all have thousands of ancestors. It does give you a nice selection of tartans to choose from.
