Kilt Map (via Google Maps)

**DotDLL** · 15th July 17, 07:52 AM

I've started putting together a map of stores where one can walk in and either try on, or be fitted for, a kilt that they can buy. This is based, in large part, on some of my own frustrations of seeing kilts from online vendors that look nice, but the end product leaves something to be desired, one it has been tried on.

I've posted a link to the map at http://kiltmap.com . I am planning on keeping the map open for all to see. Suggestions for edits are very much welcome. 'Brick and mortar' type stores (where one can walk into) are generally preferred, but I'd consider adding other things to the list.

Might anyone have suggestions for edits or additions?

A good starting point would probably be those who support this site.

That sounds good to me. I've added it to the map. Thanks!

I don't see Steve's shop on the map.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm finding that Google Maps can take a while, often several minutes, to make entries show up.

Maybe try reloading it? I'm seeing it on my end, across a few different web browsers, and across a few different devices (not all of which are logged into Google).

One thing you have to keep in mind is that before the internet you did not google "kilt" but found your local kiltmaker who was usually someone working out of their home. Perhaps the best traditional kilt in the world is still made this way. Barb Tewksbury does not have a brick and mortar shop.
