I worked doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for four years and always longed to get a kilt. At that time I did not know much of the family history - just liked the look of them. My Dad died recently and my Mum passed on the research he had been doing, fo rme to find Scottish and Irish connections. Oh Joy An excuse.
This Christmas was my Wife's 40th and I had planned a long weekend in Edinburgh, so used the excuse to order my first kilt, a casual in A & R Hamilton Hunting tartan. I first wore it for my works Christmas do, and their response was very positive.(Had a few odd cooments from men whose wive's obviously were not paying them the attention they thought they deserved.)I felt so good I got onto e-bay and picked up a vintage 6-7yd but as yet I have not been able to track down the tartan. You can feel that it's well loved. I also got a fairly cheap plain black, which is the one I tend to wear about at home. I have now got the bug so much that I am making one, and it is proving to be a real learning experience

Rigged - Congratulations on the new job
