Dave,

Welcome, my advise is to sit back and enjoy and read a bunch of great stuff here.

Welcome Dave. The Georgia crowd is growing. Make sure to get onthe Kiilt Map. Just do a search of the forum and you'll find the link.

Hey welcome aboard.

Go for the Robertson Htg modern colors pleated to the red stripe.

You'll never regret it.

I'm working on getting one myself asap. (my wife is a Robertson)

Be sure to let us know what you decided, and post a pic when you get it.

ALSO, I'm interested in competing in Highland games myself, so let us know how it goes. Maybe we should talk about training!

Welcome from a neighbor from the east.

There is a lot of great information to be found here.

I'll echo the welcomes, and also the desire to get training for the highland games. When I approached one of the caber tossers at the Chicago Celtic festival this summer (as he was strapping the caber to the top of a VW Passat!) and asked where one trained, he responded "your local park!" and then confirmed my comment that "you just find a downed tree and start tossing it?"! There has to be more to training than that!

And my advice would be to keep your feet off the furniture here, some people are really uptight about it!

Other than that, sit back and relax.
