Kilt Sighting in Maryland

**GTRMAN** · 1st October 06, 02:06 PM

I was shocked and amazed that, while at a restaurant/bar at the local mall with some friends, I saw three men walking around the mall wearing tartan kilts . One I could identify as a Hunting MacLeod tartan. I didn't get a good enough look at the others to try and tell which they were.. Of course I was kilted too but I was having a local microbrew with some friends... Interestingly enough, the beer was called "Twisted Kilt"..

Wasn't me, which mall were you at?

Arundel Mills. Right by BWI Airport.

Been to the Renn Fest this year? In years past they've had people selling kilts.. I was wondering if that was the case this year, too.

Well I don't know boys and girls... I haven't seen a kilt worn casually outside of a highland games situation now for a considerable length of time.

I'm almost tempted to liken kilt sightings to UFOs. Elusive, fleeting, vague... are they really out there? or is it some kind of hoax?

It would be nice to see someone other than myself taking the initiative to strut their stripes around town once in while.

THAT would mean that I am an Alien? A Hoax?

LOL.. That was THE FIRST kilt sighting that I've experienced, myself. My friends thought I was crazy or something because I was so shocked.

I was up in Baltimore but did not stop in Arundel Mills on the way home. I did not do the Renn Fair this year. Next weekend is the Celtic weekend at Renn Fair. But also the Construction Equipment Rodeo above Baltimore.

LOL I'm almost tempted to classfy it as an "out-of-kilt experience"

Now, now! We all know that kilts are only worn for highland games, Burns suppers, and the occassional wedding. You didn't really see any kilts anywhere else. It must have been swamp gas or ball lightning, coupled with mass hysteria. Believe me, that's all it was. Now just look at the flashing light.
