Kilt Culture

If I may recommend a book to you:

Highland Heritage: Scottish Americans in the American South by Celeste Ray. See if your university library has it or can get it on interlibrary loan.

I think you'll find it a very interesting read.

Oh dear, and here I was avoiding my homework, now you're giving me some.
wait, if I admit to avoiding my homework here Yeti will give me the evil eye and make me do it anyway.

Yep, that's what we history teachers do best!

Seriously, check it out. Ray is a sociologist and her insights on the Scottish-American community are very interesting. You'll find quite a bit of similarities to the reenacting sub-culture, although the book is not as funny as Tony Horowitz's Confederates in the Attic.

Cheers,

*ex-reenactor. I still do some living history now then for USNPS.
