Hence the $1,000 price tag.

I personally wouldn't pay for that connection to history, but I fully understand (and appreciate) the economics that motivate the people who are willing to spend that...

Congratulations. I was half-expecting that the groom would be wearing a kilt also.

My father-in-law wore his kilt + PC at my wedding. He was the inspiration that led me to eventually get a kilt.

Shaun,
Thanks for organizing this. It was good to see y'all again.

My father-in-law enjoyed himself too, though he had difficulties hearing. Even though he started wearing a kilt for formal...

Barring something going wrong at work, we'll be there. Hopefully we'll be able to get my father-in-law to join us in his kilt. We keep trying to convince him that he should wear it for more than...

The 4th should work for me. The 28th is unlikely to work. Around what time were you thinking?

I'm interested. I can't guarantee that I'll be available, because it's going to be very busy. (Multiple work deadlines, plus lots of social events.) But definitely interested.

Thanks for the explanation, B.D. I knew that Marshall and Keith were interrelated (and not just because of your last name), but I wasn't sure whether it was a standard sept arrangement, or whether...

There was a recent thread (which McMurdo alluded to) where a couple of the members discussed contacting the Chief of a clan, not asking to be adopted into the clan, but instead, asking for permission...

For the last two, your customer was clearly being sold ownership in the Brooklyn Bridge. For the second item in your list, I'm not aware of the niceties regarding displaying a coat of arms. (My...

I'm impressed with the stone throw action shots. I can guess at some of the tricks you employed to catch those shots, but it's still impressive to see the results. Very nicely executed.

I'll do my best at identifying people. But I'm not known for being terrific with names, and I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone (which would have greatly increased my ability to remember...

It looks like the rain has stopped in Salado. How muddy should we expect the ground to be tomorrow? (I plan to bring hiking boots along just to be safe.)

Does anyone with prior experience know...

If you're comparing women in North America to men in North America, I'm going to have to put it at about equal. Men normally don't wear tartan attire. Women don't normally wear tartan attire. ...

As a female, you could get a kilted skirt, mini kilt, shawl, and/or sash in tartan. You could also get a kilt. However, since kilts are more often worn by men, you would want to specify that you're...

I expect to be there on Friday and Saturday. My wife will be at a charity event in Austin on Friday, so I'll be flying solo that evening. She'll be joining me on Saturday. I'm looking forward to...

Thanks for this info. I'm always interested in odd vests of the appropriate length.

Just as an initial observation ... this website screams "caveat emptor." When I spot-checked a half-dozen...

I'm glad to hear that it went well. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid schedule conflicts next year.

It looks like we'll be making it to Salado in November, so hopefully I'll get a chance to meet up...

I would try ... except that would drag the whole soggy system back over the neighborhood. And I need clear enough weather to make my early morning flight tomorrow.

I can empathize about the...

USA Kilts and Scottish Trading Co. have some inexpensive cotton kilt hose with sufficient turn-down. There's a limited selection of colors, but you might be able to cover a fair number of options...

Nice video.

I generally wear my USAK casual kilts out dancing once or twice per week. On Sunday I wore my Irish Heritage casual kilt to a country western dance hall.

The kilt is (literally and...

My size, but not my color. Looks good on you. Congratulations.

I've purchased my garter ties (4 pairs) through eBay and Amazon. Most (if not all) were House of Cheviot, even if it didn't specify when I was ordering. In my opinion, burgundy would look awesome...

Thanks for the update. Sadly, I'll be out of town that day.

Getting into the nuance of what you just said. I agree that far too little has been learned by studying history. Much more could be learned from studying history ... if only people bothered to...

In general, history can provide a good mirror to examine our own society. Lilias Adie confessed to some truly impossible crimes (such as carnal relations with the devil), because she was repeatedly...
