    Hi. From Thurso, The far north of Scotland

    Moved up here from Manchester, England about 13 years ago and never got round to buying a kilt. Now got 2 from a local store. OK they were cheap but well made off the peg. I may get one made to measure next year when I can afford one. I am retired and on a pension so will have to save my Scottish pounds. We have a touring caravan and travel all round Scotland for a couple of months every year. We have now joined the Caravan Club and will be going to some of their meets this year and most wear kilts so if ya canna beat em then join em! Will post a photo when I can get one taken in mi kilt.

    Chris.

    33 waist and 5ft 7in so standard sizes usually fit me.

    Hi Chris - a warm welcome to you from Balmedie in Aberdeenshire.

    I have had the pleasure of travelling up to Thurso for work (driving a 7.5 tonne truck) many times over the last three or so years - I envy you for the truly breathtaking scenery up there.

    Kilt On!
