from Chicago. There's quite a community of kilted folk in Georgia. I've had the pleasure of joining them a couple of times, most recently for a Burns Supper.

Welcome to XMarks, from a fellow Georgian!
Will you be attending the Stone Mountain highland games, this weekend?

It's a heck of a good time, and if you want to learn about kilts, aside from joining this board, going to these games is your best bet!

Welcome, neighbor. Good place to be, espcially since I hail from Conyers as well.
