Hi everyone! New here, so I'm stopping by to introduce myself. I've lived in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont all my life. I'm looking for my first tartan kilt, but I already have a hiking one made by Mountain Hardware. Looking for something I can wear hiking, to festivals/Highland Games, and to my local Irish pub at times. I have Scottish roots from my Dad's side, but I can't pin down a family tartan, so I will most likely go with the Black Watch.

I majored in History in college with a concentration on Great Britain, so Scottish history and culture is dear to my heart. My wife and I are still waiting to take our first trip to Scotland, and hopefully it will happen within the next couple of years. Thanks for a great site! I've learned a lot already.
