| | | Best of the Best-Your Best Kilted Picture Thread
We all know how we X Markers like our kilted pictures, heck we love them more than Steve Ashton loves coffee! (and that is really saying something!)
So here's the idea
Look over your various kilted pictures and post the one you like most. It doesn't have to be the fanciest outfit or even your best outfit, what you want is the picture that you like best. We have all taken bad pictures (except Hamish of course). The one picture you post on this thread is the one you like most. Feel free to explain why you like it, what it means to you, or how it sums you up.
Rule 1
Post your favorite kilted picture of yourself. You are only allowed one post on this thread and one picture
Rule 2
Post your favorite kilted picture of yourself. You are only allowed one post on this thread and one picture
Rule 3
Post your favorite kilted picture of yourself. You are only allowed one post on this thread and one picture
Easy right? (Unless you are Hamish)
One should feel free to edit one's post and change the picture as you wish.
I am going to ask the Moderators to please delete or move any post on this thread that does follow rules #1-#3.
Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot let us make the boys and girls swoon with a display of kilted splendor second to none!
Cheers
Jamie

OK, I think I've got the rules figured out.
This is my favourite picture of myself kilted. I had just received my tank and my daughter and wife were taking me to my fave pub for a birthday dinner. It was a wonderful occasion for so many reasons. I keep a copy of this picture hanging in my locker at work just to remind me how fortunate I am.

This one was recently taken aboard the Carnival Destination en route to Jamica and Grand Cayman.
The kilt is a traditional box pleat made of 16 oz. Lochcarron wool, Burns Check tartan, and sewn by Matt Newsome.

Photo taken on the Springfield (MO) Public Square, May 2006, on the 80th anniversary of the Central High School Kilties Drum & Bugle Corps' first public performance. The Kilties' founder was a Scottish immigrant from Glasgow named R. Ritchie Robertson.
The Tartan is Cumming Hunting (ancient colours) from Hector Russell.
Aye,
Todd

I love the colors in this Ancient Caledonia tartan sewn by Tartanweb.com.
I love the mosaics here in our little community art project garden.
The model... well he could use a spot work...

It's probably this one. I'm pretty sure you can figure out why.
