A very fine idea. Unfortunately I have to be here that particular weekend. Otherwise I would happily go back to Dublin - I was there briefly just last week!

Alas! But Lille remains utterly accessible by rail. If / when you have the chance to return to this side of the Channel, let me know.

Greetings, all. I live in Lille, near the Belgian border - the rail hub between London, Paris, Brussels, and more, and thus easily accessible. I see that there are more than a few members here from...

Greetings, all.

I have again become a stranger on the board - life has been full! - but I will be in Edinburgh for the last week of January, and am wondering whether any local kilt nights might...

There is mine. The one sad thing about having moved to France is that it reduces my chances of filling in those most northern and southern portions of that map...

While once again I failed to meet up with any XMarkers, I did not fail to have a fine visit to Edinburgh, Linlithgow, and Dunfermline. And the Keltoi Black Isle tank got a few local compliments.

PS - those in charge of the production have gone with the spelling Lyndsay - hence the switch from my signature...

I have not been on the board in a(-nother) long while, and this is very short notice, but might anyone be up for a kilt night - or day - in Edinburgh this weekend? I will be in Linlithgow all day...

I wore the Macbeth today, and ended up taking a long walk down a busy street (heading to a meeting having lent my car to my daughter); a few looks on the way there, but at least one photograph taken...

Well done.

Personally, I hope to get to Scotland frequently ... or at least more frequently than I have managed in recent years, which is not at all! At the very least I will need to find a source of Scottish...

It has again been several months since I have surfed through here. Life has been ... full. Many days in there, despite some cold weather, I was kilted. No pictures, but ... pictorial evidence of a...

Nice. Want.

No one has ever taken a picture of me in it, I fear. I have worn it on more than a few occasions this past month alone, but ... no photos. One day...

I wore my lovely new Black Isle tank to the office a little while back and ran into a colleague who wanted a picture, so I actually have photo of this one - showing the pleats, even. ...

I have worn other, lighter kilts since, but the temperatures here have been unseasonably warm - too much for the military box pleat!

Doubtful at best, despite being the premise of Dorothy Dunnett's novel, King Hereafter. They may have been relatives, though, and very likely allies (which runs counter to the theory that Macbeth was...

The weird sisters prophesy that I will never get to teach the course, now, but I will obviously continue to wear the kilt - and the plaid - often, and happily. Even if, as might well be the case, my...

Two years back I was planning to teach a course built entirely around Macbeth - the historical record, Shakespeare's play, and the many adaptations -and bought enough "MacBeth modern" tartan to make...

Well done.

Thanks and congrats. I have been off the forum for some time, and this is fine news to come home to.

It does happen, especially in high schools, if a little differently. ("Waiting for the flood?" "Your momy dressed you this morning?" "That is so last year.") Some just never grow up.

Are you baiting me, young sir? :shock:

Long ago, already, one of my students complained in a course evaluation regarding my "tendency to wear provocative t-shirts" ... but only ever that one. And...

My current academic unit hired a young new professor from the USA last year and only discovered when trying to file the Canada Immigration paperwork that he was not a US citizen; he had no idea....

Nope, doesn't work that way. Sorry. You'll just have to admit to high levels of studliness and deal with it.

Personally, my favorites are 1 and 3.
