Kilted Walking Tour of Seattle

[James MacMillan]

And don't you look dapper!

Color coordinated Belt, sporran, hose, shirt, tartan, shoes, sunglasses and of course the hair. Yes, quite dapper!

Is that the coveted X-Marks kilt pin?

Thanks, I try...

And yes, that is an X-Marks kilt pin from the last batch. Good eyes! I've got one more waiting to go on the XMTS tartan box-pleat kilt that I'm patiently waiting for.

Walking beside you would make another kilted gent feel more, well, kilted!

Really - you look good in that ensemble! My wife thinks so too, but she made the dreaded lepraun remark.

Well, your wife isn't the first one to make that remark...

There's no denying my Celtic heritage. Rather than fight, I just embrace it.

And me wife enjoys me lucky charms...

Great photos Red, did you come out of the Utilikilts HQ un-scathed?

For the most part. I was considering getting a Spartan for just lounging/kicking around the house, but held off cuz I knew I was going to be visiting Freedom Kilts up in Victoria in a few days. (Where I did order my first FK + a Kilt Shirt.)

I did pick up 4 pair of their new knee-high Celtic weave socks. Not exactly high quality, but for $10 a pair, they make good slouch socks, which is what I got them for.

Superb pictures, thanks for an excellent tour, with plenty of interesting views.
I knew that Seattle was the home of Utilikilts but never knew it was also the home of Starbucks.

Craig,

Cool pix...

Anyway, during the winter, it is not uncommon for it to be raining at the base of the Columbia Center and snowing at the top. Also, back in the '80s, I remember seeing the original Starbucks logo at the old Bellevue Square Starbucks location that was inside the mall itself... That store hasn't been in existience for a few years. There's now a location on the NE corner of the mall.

Also, when you visited the UK store, did you run into Uncle Oddball (aka Uncle Otto)? Last time I visited w/him, was in October '06, when Mr. Kilt was in town and missed me by 5 minutes.

Good to see that you're growing back out, btw...

Cool pix. I have not been up that way in a very long time. Most of the business I was on kept me actually in Tacoma. And the "aroma of Tacoma" is NOT coffee

Excellent Pics RR.

Thanks for the tour.
