Greetings all,

I am relatively new to the kilt world. I have a costume kilt that I used during my days with the Florida Renaissance Festival in the late 1990s but I have never really counted that as part of a proper collection. I am most closely related to Clan Hannay but since that is an obscure clan as far as most kilt makers are concerned I have not been able to afford a kilt in the Hannay tartan. However, I recently discovered that I am related to Clan Stewart (as well as a few others) and, armed with that knowledge, bought my first "proper" kilt from Stillwater Kilts a few days ago in Black Stewart.
I have lurked around on this site for a few months and finally registered today. I look forward to learning all I can from this eclectic group of kiltaholics.

Late addition:

I am also planning on competing in the 2011 Loch Norman Highland Games. Amateur division, of course.

Hey all,

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. I have a lot of work to do between now and 2011 to get ready for the games, especially since I have never handled a caber nor tossed a sheaf. My only experience lies in shotput and discus during my high school track and field days. It should be interesting either way.
