- ]I come from a very scottish family and have even been back to the Isle
- ]of Skye where we are from. I have my kilt, my clan badge (MacDonald of
- ]Skye/ MacDonald of the Isles) and several instruments such as bagpipes and
- ]a middle C pipe. I am extremely proud of my heritage and am a little
- ]disappointed because i can't wear my things because i am female. The only
- ]thing that i can wear is a scottish dress with a sash, although I still
- ]wear
- ]my kilt, my pin and my short kilt jacket all the same. To any Celtic guys
- ]out there who think wearing a "skirt" is silly, if youve got the blood,
- ]there is nothing that you could wear that would be sexier than a kilt,
- ]a white shirt, and a jacket. If you think about it, scottish men are so
- ]sexy that a kilt doesn't hinder them in the least.

- Well, Hello!
-
- I wear the kilt (yes, I'm a guy) and I'm proud to. I just went to a formal
- dinner party where I was one of 2 men in the colors out of some 2500
- attendees. I felt pretty special - especially since I was actually wearing
- my own families colors and not a rented Royal Stewart.
-
- My family Clan is Home (Actually, when arriving in the states it was changed
- to Hume)/MacDuff/Clark, of which I wear the MacDuff colors because of the
- historical significance my particular family played. Although Home is trully
- the most befitting name as that is my grandmother's maiden name.
-
- Don't be down on yourself for being female - you carry the name, I can not.
- Scotland is a matriarcal society and so the women's names are passed on and
- not the men's. (That's why the Home from my Granmother is the most accurate.)
-
- My mother's name is Craig from Ireland so I have been doubly blessed.
-
- Glorious Red hair and beard so that makes three blessings.
-
- Proud to be a Scot? YES. Proud to be an American? YES.
-
- Do I wear a "Skirt"? NO, I wear a kilt and if the men in Scotland
- can toss trees around (caper) who needs to be more manly?
