This is going to be one sided and therefore biased but, my wife and I have attended the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA three times now and are planning to attend again this year. It is absolutely...

This is my experience. I claim the Fraser Clan due to my last name (the Sept name) but I've only been able to trace my 'Simpson' line back 5 generations (all US) in my genealogy research. But, on my...

Hi Ivor; welcome to X Marks.

Perhaps this site has found all of us kilt wearers and there are just few still trickling in! Just kidding, of course! But... It could be that the XMTS membership has...

Just finished a couple of ounces of Ardbeg 10 (love my Islays) and now going to bed!

Thanks, Meal! I see a lot of kilted families at these events. We'll be attending the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA (the largest of these events that we go to) and I expect to see a lot of kilt...

My wife and I were born and raised in New Castle, PA, south of Meadville and just north of Pittsburgh. Though we now live in Delaware, we were visiting friends in Erie, PA and decided to spend a day...

Susan and I had an opportunity to visit the Edinboro Highland Games & Scottish Festival, sponsored by and held at Edinboro University in Western Pennsylvania. This festival had sanctioned athletic,...

I must say that the Celtic Society of Southern Maryland, does an outstanding job with this event. Here are some additional pictures from the Southern Maryland Celtic Festival.

When I attend a festival like this one, I always wear my Dandelion, the symbol of our X Marks clan.

As my wife and I were walking around the festival I had spotted a very smartly dressed (in the...

My wife, Susan and I attended the 40th Annual Southern Maryland Celtic Festival on Saturday (Apr 28), held at Jefferson Patterson Park in St. Leonard, MD. The venue is just south of the Washington,...

The Colonial Highland Gathering features a lot of great competitions so, we moved around and enjoyed a little of this and a little of that. Here are a few photos of the ever popular 'Caber Toss'. ...

The Colonial Highland Gathering attracts a lot of 'decendents of Scots' and kilt wearers. Of course I was kilted and I wore my XMTS Dandelion but I didn't spot any X Marks that I recognized and no...

The 57th Annual Colonial Highland Gathering and Scottish Games was held this past Saturday (May 20) at the Fair Hill Race Track in Elkton, Maryland. Though it was overcast, the weather was beautiful...

Enjoying a wee dram of Cragganmore 12 right now, before I turn in for the night.

Had a couple of drams of Laphroaig 10 last night after a wonderful new years meal of sauerkraut & pork. Absolutely...

OK, here are a few more photos from this years Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA. Note Rocky's USA Kilts booth is well guarded including a Kilted Kop. Also included are some shots of the 100 year old...

The 2016 Celtic Classic in historic downtown Bethlehem, PA is now over and was a great success. The weather was perfect, the competitions were exciting, the entertainment was great and the beer was...

No crime there; you look good and you're having fun.

Looks like you had an intimate view of the dog training.

Good for you, Lady Gray; what could be better than kilts, sun and sailing with our canine companions.

Though I have sailed kilted, I don't usually but, my wife and I always sail with our dogs. We...

Hi Finistere; interesting question (though not necessarily kilt related, a lot of us do indeed have beards).

Similar to Liam, I experimented with a beard early in life and stopped shaving the day...

Rocky, my wife and I stopped at your booth a couple of times (Saturday) and I said hello but, you were quite busy (I was wearing a dandelion). I admired your tweed jackets (nice to see them in...

I was wearing my XMTS Dandelion but didn't encounter any of our members except Rockey. USA Kilts 'festival shop' was busy, busy, busy and he had a good array of merchandise available.

OK, the...

Some additional pictures from this years Celtic Classic.

How about a kilted policeman!
