    Hellya!! One of my great regrets is not being kilt addicted for my various graduation ceremonies. Would in a heart beat for another one. The clan tartan makes such a strong statement. You've earned this academic honor - CELEBRATE!

    Entirely biased advice on this forum—we, a fellowship of one-eyed fanatics who would probably advocate the kilt for volcano watchers, moon walkers and as tropical beachwear.

    Hardly, we're just proud of our kilts and enjoy wearing them.

    In Scotland the kilt is generally worn for celebrations, and graduations across the nation are a fine excuse for a flurry of kilts every year. Flurry is possibly not the best collective noun for kilt wearers but you get the idea.

    ... and welcome to X Marks.

    Thanks guys, thank you for the advise, through all my research over the past 6 or so years i was lead to believe the same thing to wear it when ever, when ever as well...... but i wanted to be sure, I figure that y'all would be a little more experienced than I. And thanks fo all of your welcomes.

    When I was a lad I served a term as office boy to an attorneys' firm. I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor., I polished up the knocker on the big front door. As office boy, I made such a mark, that they gave me the post of the junior clerk. I served the writs with a smile so bland and I copied all the ledgers in a big round hand. I wore clean collars and the tartan of my clan at the graduation of my class with a big brass band.

    Melior?

    Welcome from the West Midlands of England. Do wear your kilt! (No one in this forum will say otherwise.) Look forward to seeing the pics.
