    Cool Helloooo, Norway calling!

    Figured I'd register her now that I've gotten all "kilty".. after 5-6 years or so of faffing about, I finally got a utilikilt in late May (Original, tan), and a week ago I got my second (Survival, Basil(green)).. getting this addiction thingie!!!!.

    Wasnt really sure I'd _dare_ wear it in public but it turned out to be no biggie at all.

    I went with the UK's because I liked their design best, ive been worried sick for 5 years they were gonna close down before I got around to getting one, checking their website like 2-3 times a week... and well .. as I have no scottish ancestry (that I'm aware of) wearing a tartan one just feels plain wrong...

    Oh yea.. im 32 (subject to change) and live in Norway and I have a dog.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Glad you took the plunge. We also have at least four other members from Norway. You should all have a kilt night before you ice up again.

    Ah, but your forefathers may have pillaged Scotland long ago...so pick a tartan...any tartan you choose!

    from both southern US coasts!

    Norway and Scotland have a long and storied history...plus there is a Norwegian tartan:

    http://www.norway.org.uk/edinburgh/events/tartan.htm

    http://safirts.org/tartan.aspx

    Another appropriate tartan would the Sinclair tartan, since that clan also has a stong connection to Norway:

    http://www.laird.org.uk/Norway/Conne...ith_Norway.htm

    Also, be sure to visit to PM our Freelander Sporrano, who is a member of the Caledonian Society of Norway!

    Skal!
