    Norm, welcome to knowing. And kudos to you, sir, for having the individual courage to step forth. No, I am not using that word loosely. Your mention of being "kind of shy" and I surmise that to be a bit of an understatement. Courage, then, is what it takes to step outside of your comfort zone especially when it is toward the uncommon (you also mention no one else that you know of).
    The kilt, as historic, contemporary and comfortable as it is, remains in general a not usual garment. Though not unusual to wear it, it is as mentioned above an indicator of one who has the stones to respectfully express their uniqueness among the many. That doesn't make us special, but it does reflect a personal confidence.
    Well done. Enjoy your new-found "Norm".

    Good for you Norm. Stepping from behind the fence into the "curb appeal" of the front yard. People will view you as a "down to earth" kind of guy, whether you're Scottish or not.
