Kilts Aplenty in Glasgow
Just returned from four days in Glasgow, where I've been helping with a club exhibit at our annual model rail show. I packed a pair of trousers but in the event I wore my black heavyweight kilt all four days. Only saw about ten other kilts on Friday, but on Saturday there seemed to be loads of guys wearing kilts among the paying public. Some no doubt would have been going on to the rugby in Edinburgh afterwards while a few were stewarding at a wedding exhibition in an adjacent hall and came through to visit our show during their break. A wide variety of tartans were represented and I also saw plain grey and several black kilts including meeting another guy in a black heavyweight. The one that really caught my eye was a Dark Island black and grey, so much so that whenever I arrived home I ordered up a 5 yard 13 oz casual in Dark Island tartan over the internet. Which was rather indulgent as only last week I visited the Kilt Shop in Galashiels and ordered up an 8 yard 13 oz Spirit of Scotland. So to use a word I learned on this forum, I'm now jonesing for two new kilts which will increase my wardrobe from three to five kilts.

That must have been fun--especially since the fun continues with the new kilts.

I might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.

That is a really intriguing taran design.

The waiting can be a bummer but I've got to admit, it's a bit like christmas when the packages finally arrive!
