I agree with MacMillan of Rathdown and Highland Logan. I think Jamie is aiming at too high of an expense. When it comes to the kilt, save your money and buy a good one. When it comes to the accessories, however, it seems that the traditionalists (myself included) are saying, "Here's where you need to stay in budget." Please, don't buy a $200. to $400. sporran right off the bat, unless you can afford it. You can get the proper kilt accessories, good quality, at cheaper prices (not so the kilt). MoR's suggestions are excellent.
