Forest, the kilt is a lovely tradition. I'm sure your legs are just as fine as your beard. :-) And for those who are tempted and have the urge, who swarm near you like bee to flower, my advice is to avoid blustery days and tripping.

This conversation is sounding more and more like a fish story.

Nine and a half yards of heavy wool tartan, end up weighing fairly heavy.

Most blustery days are nay match for such a weighted item.

Now now... fish stories aside, what family name is associated with your tartan. I have Scot's ancestory, but not sure what family. We come from Hinze 57 stock.

My Paternal grandmother was MacKenzie.

So I have a modern kilt in 'Dress MacKenzie' tartan, and a second kilt of 'Black Watch' [per my profession] it is of the more ancient primitive fashion.

I once had the opportunity to drink a bit with Gregor MacGregor of Clan MacGregor, the heir apparent of the head of his Clan. He was trying to convince me to import Scottish furniture to the US as 'antiques'.

By their common definition old furniture is simply old. It is only an antique if it was somehow involved with royalty or it is was manufactured by a famous craftsmen.

By the American 'vulgar' usage anything of over a century old is automatically an antique.

Scots have a lot of old furniture.

I like old furniture, however, my love is Asian furniture. I have several peices that are fairly old, but not antique. I've been collecting for over 30 years. I love history, and have always wanted to go to Scotland, but unfortunately, unable to get there. Perhaps one day.

okay, I am wondering how long is your beard? I don't think the older ladies were laughing at you but laughing over the young woman actually asking to touch your beard.
Hair is hair. I love the idea of your wearing a kilt. That's kewl. don't stop wearing it.
We do have a diverse group of Mainers here.
