I will arrive Thursday afternoon and will get kilted immediately upon checking into my hotel and will stay kilted every day until I depart. Shorts are just not seen in Scotland but with rare exceptions. Carry an umbrella with you at all times. It rains off and on frequently, even if you wake up in the morning with not a cloud in the sky. It can change in a matter of minutes. Lots of walking on cobble stone streets demands comfortable shoes/hiking boots.
I will be picking up my new District of Fife kilt from Celtic Craft Centre that was ordered in Palm Springs. I told them to hold it in Edinburgh and I will get it when I arrive. Looking forward to donning it; it's sharp! For the Gathering on Saturday and Sunday, it's my clan kilt, McKinnon modern red.
It's going to be a great time and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of folks from around the globe! Happy and safe traveling to all. Countdown continues...
