I've been told by my aged dad that his blood is Scots, Welsh, English in that order but its been nearly impossible to pin that down. I guess that means I'm a typical American mutt. The point is - I don't know if I was born a "Scot" but I know a Scot was born in me the first time I heard a pipe band and saw rows of kilts swinging in parade as a kid.

At fifty-odd years of age I decided I was tired of making everyone else happy and decided I would please myself by wearing a kilt as often as I can - turns out that's almost daily.

Why do I wear a kilt? Sure its a celebration of cultural heritage and comfort, but mostly I wear a kilt because I choose to.
