    Hello Fellow Kilt wearers!

    I thought I would give this site a try....

    I was wondering if anyone had a list of Scottish holidays that would be good days to wear a kilt?

    I had a list at one point then i lost it, i was hoping someone on here would have one

    in the meantime, hello and welcome from Savannah, GA.

    from Chicago. Here's a partial list

    August 1 (1746 proscription act outlawing kilts and tartan)
    July 1 (1782 lifted ban on kilts and tartans)
    November 30 (St. Andrew's Day - patron saint of Scotland)
    January 25 (Robert Burns birthday)

    And then you can add in battles such as

    The battle of Stirling Bridge: Sept. 11
    The battle of Bannockburn: June 24
    The battle of Flodden Field: September 9
    The battle of Prestonpans: September 21
    The battle of Culloden: April 16th

    These are only highlights (and lowlights).

    But as was said above - any day is a good day to wear a kilt.
