I want to give a big thank you to Rev Christopher for mentioning the Kirkin o' the tartan. Until this morning, (17Oct) I had no idea such a blessing existed. I was planning on going to the Richmond Highland games on Saturday, because I did not want to miss church on Sunday. But...since there is a Worship service and Kirkin o' the tartan on Sunday at 0930, I can tell you now, I will be there.

Can someone give me an idea of how the Kirkin o' the tartan works? The only cloth of my PSD: Operation Iraqi Freedom, tartan i have is my kilt and my wifes sash. Do I just put my wifes sash on the alter, the priest blesses it, and I get it back? are there going to be 2000 tartans on the alter and getting my wifes sash back going to be a nightmare? Or do we just stand there and the priest wave his hand in our direction?
