    Mother of 3 boys with kilts from Langbank, Scotland

    Hello, I'm Janet and mother to three little boys that wear the Mackenzie kilt (my maiden name). I was born and grew up on the Isle of Skye and my father was Pipe Major Donnie Mackenzie so my history is steeped in the kilt and Highland life. I am keen for my children to grow up knowing their rich history and since last year have been putting together nice little kilt sets for family and friends for weddings etc.
    It intrigues me on finding this forum that there are many people around the world that have a huge passion for the kilt. I also thank you for enlightening me on many areas of scottish kilts/tartan that I did not know about. Kindest Regards
