Hello from the province of Quebec
Hi folks! For my fortieth birthday, my wife had a local tailor made me a kilt. Lovely but now that I’m more educated, there are many flaws with it. I also have a Grey Hamilton one that I wore for a friend’s wedding.
Now I’m looking at making my own, from the Plaid du Quebec. Unfortunately, the province actually ever officially recognized it. But I want to make one in that tartan regardless. I already bought «*The Art of Kiltmaking*» book.
I haven’t found Scottish origins in my tree so far, but I love wearing the kilt!

If you're Quebecois, you probably have some Irish in your lineage, somewhere! Close enough ... and if not, no worries!
Salut!
Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.

Welcome from Michigan!
Good luck with the kilt! Barb's book makes for an excellent read, and she's regularly on the forum if you need help.
