    My Little Man's Christmas

    My son got his first kilt for Christmas. His face lit up when he opened the Gordon Sportkilt. He has been showing it off to everyone with so much pride. Hi truely is a special little man (yeah, I still call him little man even though he is now taller than me) It fits him perfectly and now we will set to work on that sporran with a bit more vigor. I will post some pictures of him in the kilt soon. He is really looking forward to the spring Highland Games.

    Another generation succumbs to the power of the kilt

    Great to see the positive influence a Dad can have!
    I can only hope one of my boys will take to the kilt!

    Thanks guys. BTW I'm a mom. My late husband was of Clan Gordon, my family is Davidson. To help the kids feel more connected to their father we put a lot more emphasis on the Gordon side.

    So cool,

    I know your son will be welcomed at the House of Gordon tent at any Highland Games.

    My sense is that he comes from great strength on both sides of his family tree.
