Kilts in the Lodge Room

[Hiram]

Fraternal Greetings to all,


I am starting this thread in the hopes of getting to see all Kilt wearing brethren, in Highland Dress in a Lodge Room setting. I am a Mason of 5 years now and have seen many masons in Kilts and Aprons. This also is the reason why I finally made up my mind answering the great question of " Tuxedo vs Highland Dress " and I am proud to announce that I went Kilt all the way. I have yet to receive my first ever Kilt but according to all the posts i've read Jerry is a magician when it comes to delivering his goods. (SWK)
Once I get it I will certainly not hesitate to post some pictures of myself in full Masonic Regalia and Kilt of course.

If you have any pictures of yourself in your respective Grand Lodge Tartan, or Universal Masonic Tartan please feel free to post them.

This subject was past by the Mod Squad before I posted it. The following warning is to be taken at heart if we are to continue sharing pictures and stories relating to Kilts in the Lodge Room on this forum.

We don't want this thread to run foul of the rules. Please confine your posts strictly to Kilts in relation to Freemasonry. The Mods have advised that any deviation into religion or discussions on Freemasonry in general will be deleted.

I don't see to many my self, but the men of the Scottish constitution here wear trews in the GLOS tartan. And I think it looks good and adds some variety to the standard of dress.

hmm.. ok, pics heres one.

I love the regalia, I'm sure it is common place there. I stand out like a sore thumb in mine her in the states. Not that that deters me though.

I wear my kilt to all degree work, official visit and installation. As our Lodge is named Canada lodge all officers wear mapleleaf tartan bow ties and waistcoats with their tuxedo, I just took a step up by wearing a kilt, we now have 3 members in kilts and two in trews all in the mapleleaf tartan.

Here in Arizona, in Kingman, the KSA used to provide a kilted color guard for the Northwest Lodge of Perfection (haven't been up that way in a while but I assume they still do), a kilted honor guard for the Arizona Grand Lodge at its annual meeting, and most of the Phoenix Lodge of Perfection is kilted. Never thought enough about it to get pictures, but I will put that on my list! ith:

These are from a few years ago.



From left to right is my father-in-law who left his kilt at home this night, a friend of ours from Edinburgh who wanted to attend a lodge in the states, myself in the light blue English Past Masters Apron, and CajunScot. This is not our Mother Lodge but it is the most beautiful one in the area.



This next one is a bit older at, CajunScots Installation as Master of our lodge. From left to right is my father-in-law again who is now wearing his kilt, CajunScot, Myself in my first lodge office and our piper who was not a Freemason.

By the way Todd and I don't wear white socks much anymore(grin).

I envy you fellows your lodges where kilts are common place. I've only worn mine to an Eastern Star installation. However, if I am elected to the East in December, I may start a new trend, especially if SoutherScot really does demit.

I hope other brothers keep the photos coming.

Here is the photo of me at the Eastern Star installation I mentioned. I cut my wife out because she said to.


I think that was the last time I wore those white hose. I loved 'em, too, since they were hand made to measure.

Yeah thats pretty much stamps here, apart from Scots' and Irish constitutions, who have some splendid tartan edged aprons.

I have looked into the Scots tartan regalia before, ashamedly I am not as active in the craft as I once was. It is easy to get out of the habit of going to lodge after you have set in the East.
