My wearing of the kilt started at a ren fest; I bought it because I had always admired the Black Watch (a friend of my mother's had died in WW II in the BW) and I found a "costume kilt" which opened the door. I got interested in genealogy and discovered that I was a descendant of the auld sod. My wife still thinks this is bizarre but after 30+ years has decided that I am incorrigible and not worth the effort to reform.
