newbie kilt wearer

Thanks for the link todd. Looks like a real nice tartan. The one thats really got my eye at the moment is the Boyd tartan, its my granny's family. But since i'm not a Boyd would i be stepping on toes?

Not at all -- your grandmother was a Boyd, so you are honouring her and your kin by wearing it.

Cheers,

Todd

Nice Point Todd. I've seen a bit of controversy around the subject of family tartan wearing, specifically whether one should over step the boundries of surname. But you point out that one would be horoning their kin by wearing a tartan from someone on their mother's side of the family tree.

I agree whole heartedly. While I don't foresee myself wearing a tartan not associated with my surname or affiliated organization, I believe that we should all feel free to wear whichever ancestrial tartan we feel inspired to honor.

I may not be the best replier to your questions, but you are GUARANTEED some really good typos!:-D

Welcome, Geordie.

I, too, bought my first kilt in Edinburg, on vacation last year.
I now have seven.
Beware. But enjoy.

One kilt is not enough
