Kilts for Kids Day - 27th Nov.
I'll be wearing mine that whole weekend whilst I visit Robertson's Ferintosh Guesthouse in Dumfries
Make sure you wear yours on St. Andrew's day - and why not raise some money for a Scottish children's charity in the process?

It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Yes, it seems to be getting lift off this year, Paul with quite a bit of publicity, last year was very low key.
Already I am being asked if I am wearing the kilt to work that day, probably will if the workforce want to sponsor me, but the females are a dangerous lot here along with one or two guys.

I'm bumping this just to draw attention to the event!

Do the North American Members of this forum want to get in on the action? I found a comporable charity here in the US, Love Our Children, USA, I've looked for one in Canada, but as I am not that familiar with Canada (being all the way down here in Florida) I could not really find a national organization, but one of our Canadian friends might be able to find something.
I know St Andrews Day is not big in the states, but we could still make an effort for a Kilts for Kids Day. I'm going to do it here in my town, I'll hit up my wife's friends and co-workers for donations to see me in a Kilt (Like they have to pay me to do it...) then donate the money to the above charity. I'm going to work up a flyer, so if anyone is interested I can give them a copy for your use, so let me know.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
