    Kilt shops Hill Country Texas

    Any kilt shops in the Hill Country area of Texas, that triangle from Austin, San Antonio to Fredericksburg? Will be there after the 14th of March.

    There's a very nice shop and museum on the Northern side of your triangle in Salado. http://www.ctam-salado.org/WSS.htm
    From the Heart of Midlothian...Texas, that is!

    I'll second what HallMarkTex said about the gift shop at the Central Texas Area Museum. It's probably about as close as you'll come in the area to a kilt shop (though I don't think they actually sell kilts...). They do sell a variety of accessories, however.

    Give them a call. You might be surprised at some of the items they stock. I remember them having a couple of nice Argyll jackets for sale when I was there for the Salado Clan Gathering & Highland Games last November.

    EDIT:

    I did a bit of Googling, and came across this shop: http://www.thingsceltic.com/ which I know nothing about.

    Otherwise, the only other shop I know of in Texas is Scotland Forever in the Dallas area: http://www.scotlandforever.net/index.html

    Not to be snooty or anything, but the Hill Country is much bigger than that. You're only describing the touristy part of it.

    (Heh, I just realized that the Wikipedia page feature photo is from Bandera County where I live!)

    Anyway, I'd be real surprised if there was a kilt shop anywhere in the Hill Country, except for possibly inside the city of Austin (they do have a Utilikilts store there, I know). Kilties are pretty rare in these parts, and I doubt there would be enough business to support a traditional kilt shop.

    I'd love it if I were wrong, though!

    They sell stuff at the local Highland Games. I can't remember seeing kilts at their booth, though. Mainly I just remember it being jewelry and ornaments and such.

    All Things Celtic does sell kilts. Nice store, hard to get attention from staff.
    "Nice Quilt." - comment on my Kilt by a man behind me in line at Home Depot.

    I see Scotlandforever at the many festivals around this area. Met the owner a few times. They don't really have a store front. Actually a more of a web presence. If memory serves, they don't make kilts, but can order for you. You may have to call to confirm.
