Thanks! I know that most on here are sticklers about periods pieces, but you could say the character was a Scot who knows his roots. I had a large stick-on 'stache, but that was a bit over the top....

Here's my Pictish, Celtic, Scottish conglomerate (because RenFest is more fun when you join in) outfit. I do hope you enjoy and yes, I'm very familiar with the anachronistic medley of elements...

I definitely like the tattersal print with the kilt. As for the style of shirt, be it button-down collar or point, I think it just matters on how you wear it. I've seen some great shots of both in...

I think the most important question is has Doctor Who sported a kilt yet and what tartan shall it be?

Latin does not have a "J" character and typical pronunciation of the letter "A" is long. So if I wanted to write John with my hammer and chisel as it is pronounced, I would spell it IAN.

Macedonian and other mediterranean versions of the bagpipes tend to look like that. I really like the natural decor. When they play them, they tend to sound like the clarinet in a klezmer band...

Major point of fashion that has been true regardless of trends:

Your belt, shoes, and sporran should match. Brown with brown - Black with black.

It's the most noticeable flaw when properly...

Yeah, as far as dying is concerned, one of my favorite modern Scottish songs is "Love You Till the End" by the Pogues.

Here's a few that I found in my songbook, both Scottish and Irish:

"My...

Great photos! I visited Glasgow once and was very impressed by the array of color splashes at night on the bridges and other buildings. Thanks for sharing your travelogue.

Woohoo! I'm a fan. :kd:

Perhaps it's just me, but I believe modifying kilts into high fashion ensembles only emphasizes their femininity, especially without the sporran. I have found that when worn traditionally with the...

Lucky! I'm jealous of your decision.

A most fantastic exhibition of Celtic artwork in motion! This is an excellent look at the creation of illuminated manuscript. I recommend it for both children and adult. It has received plentiful...

Sure, why not. The style of this bag is the same as most of the day sporrans. I think that I would wear a masculine looking purse as a sporran or modify it to the right look. I've definitely...

The hat that I saw in the bookstore was much more European trapper-esque, not so much anime cosplay. She fit the highland games scene a little more. I should have stopped her to inquire about it,...

I think I've seen the "cat helmet" of which you speak at the bookstore, recently. Now I'm trying to figure out what they're called to find them on Google.

I'm going to try to get off work for it. :piper:

Hahaha!! That's funny...good advice...but funny.:lol:

One of my colleagues wears his Eagle Scout ring, which looks very sharp. I would suggest this as a sign of your merit and membership that could be worn on all occassions.

The Memphis Post of the Scottish American Military Society meets at 1730hrs every 2nd Monday of the Month at Jason's Deli, in conjunction with the Memphis Scottish Society meeting. If you're in...

I believe that Eagle Scout is definitely to be included when one is speaking of chivalry, merit, and honor. I believe that the Scouts are the last bastion of common sense and practicality. I would...

One thing to remember is that the Colquhoun Clan could have existed as the people that inhabited the Colquhoun territory prior to its official leadership and incorporation. Just because Clan...

The key I believe in saving pennies is to find versatile items that can go either way, day or night, budget or ideal. I suppose the truly ideal situation would be having an entirely custom-tailored...

If you have trouble finding all of the connections from your wife back to Scotland, as many do, I would suggest searching for the origin of the name and from which clan it sprouted. You have the...

For the Americans, I would like to add the Order of the Spur:

"...With sabre in hand and having displayed those traits associated with all accomplished cavalry troopers - skill, cunning, dash, and...
