Greeting, I am new to kilts and I am sure to ask you plenty of newbie questions I am sure. I am located around the area of Charlotte,NC. I have only wore my kilts a couple times because it is cold outside(at least for me) but I look foreward to wearing them all the time when the weather warms up. I have been reading through this forum for a couple days now and it looks like i found my people Philip

Welcome from the Atlantic coast of Florida! Some of my Scottish ancestors, including my nearest one, first came to the US in North Carolina, as is common.
