I've always been fascinated by kilts and Highlandwear, then about 20 years ago I got a sudden desire to wear one. I used to walk down the street wondering what it would be like with the kilt swirling round my knees, and that's when I took the plunge. There were no cheap PV kilts around then so I had to fork out for a 13oz woollen kilt in the MacDuff Ancient, plus all the other gear, but boy was it worth it. The first time I wore my outfit was to a Christmas reception at Warwick Castle and everyone admired it. They have a targe on display in the Great Hall taken from a Highlander at the Battle of Culloden, and I remember raising my glass to it!
