I am curious as to the stories of how we all got intereseted in wearing kilts and at what age. We have members from different age groups,ocupations,nationalities,and races and with different interests.I am sure we all have some really neat stories. How many of us are only interested in wearing the kilt and how many of us are interested in full Scottish attire or other things Celtic.My interest started when my wife and I were walkig through a local park. It was in the the early fall and the air had that sweet smell to it.We were in a wooded area in the morning and the morning mist was still hugging the ground when I heard the sound of bagpipes drifting to us. I really couldn't tell from which direction it was coming from and it took a bit of time till I could pin point the direction. The sound drew me to it and I really can't tell you why for I had never really had an interest in the pipes.When I had reached the clearing there was a kilted female piper (who was hot,but thats for a differnt thread).My wife and I listened for a quite a while until she was finnished. I asked many quetions about the pipes and eventually found a teacher. From there I started going to celtic festivals and here started getting into the music and kilts and finding out about some of my family history (Wesh on my fathers side Maybe Scots from his mother,we are still tracing, and Dutch from my mothers). My first kilt was a
traditional wool in Stewart hunting green. I was restless until it came and once it did and I put it on I was hooked. For me my pipes and kilt move me and change me at the same time.I feel different and better when I have either. Now I look forward to getting more kilts and a more complete attire,and hopefully better at the pipes. I will end with this that I have really enjoyed talking to you all,reading your tales ,and learning from you and about you.Looking forward to reading your stories.


Keep kilted.
