    A seventh Kilt!!!!

    Just a quick entry to celebrate.
    Last week when I posted about the Kilted Skirts I'd gotten Diane I mentioned something I was bidding on on Ebay.
    I won it!!!
    After waiting since I was fifteen years old I finally have a Macdonald of Clan Ranald tank in my size.
    All for 54.99 pounds!!!





    As soon as I get it there will be pictures.
    For now I just wanted to gloat.

    Wow Arlen, that is a sweet kilt. Looking forward to your review and photos!

    Okay, being new on this board..I have a question. I have never heard a kilt called a "tank". Where did that term come from?
