well today is my 1 year anniversary of joining Xmarks and it has been quite the journey. i first started looking into kilts and all things Scottish when i decided that i was going to get married in a kilt, but i wanted to make sure i was doing it right. and that i would wear the correct tartan. as with most Google searches i was lead here and started reading many of the post but didn't decide to join until i really got serious about my heritage.

Since joining I now have 3 kilts (MacPherson Modern from Sportkilt, Nightstalker tartan from Stillwater [craigslist score!], and a MacPherson Dress from A.S. Campbell Kilts [my wedding kilt]), a full prince charlie outfit, i am currently awaiting the arrival of a argyle jacket that i recently won off ebay, made my very own balmoral bonnet, traced my Scottish heritage back to Scotland (though found no specific clan affiliation), have been too 2 different highland games, joined my local Scottish society, Made some new friends here on the boards (met a few of you as well), and also gotten a few of my friends and family interested in kilts!

So to all of you who may have directly or indirectly given me advice on many things; Thank you! and keep up the good work!
