Kilt wearers in Southwestern Maine?

**BLAZN** · 30th March 06, 01:45 AM

I'm headed to that part of the world in August. Reading a couple of the kilt night threads has peaked some interest. Any fllow kilt wearers near Kittery? Any pubs or the like where kilt nights are held?

Welcome aboard,
There is a growing population of kilted gents in the Boston Area.
which is just south by about 60 miles and pretty easy by highway. there might be a few folks on the north shore of Boston. If i drew a circle of their locations an included Kittery Area there certainly would be a few good places to gather in the middle.

As the time gets closer, I will certainly look into this more heavily. I'll be rolling into the area on house hunting leave in early June. I'll be leaving my family behind in Kittery as I come back to Hawaii. My sub departs for Maine, with an arrival sometime in August.

Yes, there are a few of us with chilly knees around these parts. Between the Boston area, southern New Hampshire and the Greater Portland area (about 50 miles up the coast from Kittery.)

I saw a posting today about a Kilt Night in Boston, but haven't read it. If enough of us up this way get together, we might try for a Kilt Night in Portland. Gritty McDuff's (in the Portland Old Port) might be open to buying the first pint of any guy in kilts!

Keep us posted on this board of your whereabouts. Oh, the guys from Boston are welcome to drive up, as well

Maybe a Kilt Night with beer and lobster would make for a fun summer evening somewhere in the area.

Welcome!

Count me in for a weekend kiltnight in portland. I cabin in Madison NH so it would be a fine location for me to pass through.

Blazn,
Welcome to New England, and welcome to Xmarks. I'm a relatively new member here, only being owned by a kilt for two weeks now. I'm in Boston, and it seems like there might be a kilt scene developing here. I doubt you'll have any difficulty wearing a kilt in Maine. As things develope here in Boston you are always welcome if you feel like making the trip. I'll keep my eyes open for any events held up north. I often travel to Maine and NH, so why not do it for a kilt event.
