Kilted Reunion in Virginia

**Oldhiker** · 18th September 07, 01:48 PM

We held the first Andrew "Lamont" Young reunion this past weekend in Augusta CO, VA. A few of us wore our kilts much to the amazement of some cousins who were just learning of their scottish heritage. We had about 40 people gathered for family history & field trips

here we are in the Hebron Presbyterian church

1 Young tartan, 1 Montgomery tartan, 1 Utility, & 2 Ancient Lamont tartans

No converts to the kilt yet....

Loving the Young tartans (Great Granny Henderson was a Young before she married into the Clan.) It's pretty high up on my list. A nice box pleat in that one would be nice.

George, I'm so glad everything worked out for you! As you know from the CLS forum we're trying to set up a similar event here in Michigan. Hope this is the first of many such gatherings in your neck of the woods.

Excellent pics; great to see six kilties together.
Young were one of the big families in my home town of Paisley - they owned a large transport depot and had a big fleet of buses. The depot was fronted on two sides by long rows of tenement properties and the Youngs rented out the individual flats. They were one of the first families in Paisley to have television and my mother was among those invited to their house to watch the queen's coronation on television in 1953. The Youngs sold their bus company to the state in 1948 but continued with the property business until they began selling the flats in the 1970's.
