We are also keen to revitalise our Highland heritage, my eldest son especially.

We are a family of Theravadan Buddhist as my wife is Sri Lankan, but even she wears a pendant with our clan crest, and is thinking about getting a skirt in MacLeod of Harris.

We're intending for me to wear my kilt on Burns Night, National Tartan Day, St Andrews Day, and even Xmas.

Also to any Highalnd events we can afford to go to. Next year we're planning on going to Dumfires and Galloway for our family holiday and the kilt will be worn then.

Due to kids growing fast, we're not going to get them a kilt until they're in their teens, but we're buying them jewellery with the crest and will be passing our titles down to them.

The only issue I've found so far, aside from my brother having research a VERY linear family tree and denying all of our family history ("we've got no Scottish or Welsh blood at all, no matter what everyone said" - including a sadly departed friend who was a professional genealogist...), is that the published 'histories' and lineage vary depending on the expert.

Well done for keeping your family history and traditions alive! The more of us that do it, the safer they will be and be preserved down the ages.
