I talked about the original great kilts, the story of the origin of the kilt pin, flashes, hose, and the sgian dubh. The boys in the class were disappointed I was carrying my "Sgian Don't" (A comb with a knife-like wooden handle I made) instead of a real blade. But the kids seemed interested. I got a lot of smiles and questions as I went out and about town today doing errands with my daughter.
I raise my glass to all you fine folk and wish you a hardy "Cheers"!
A big cheers to you as well. Also that's awesome that you were able to talk to children about cilts and what they represent, that's awesome, not all people can talk to kids and I congratulate you for that. Cheers
