Re: Your Kilted Grandfathers (or Other Grandfather Influences)
When my Grandfather Ross (below, at right) first set foot on American soil, circa 1911, he was wearing a kilt. He remained kilted full time for a further 6-8 years.

Hearing that story always intrigued me, even at a young age, and I think it inspired me to take more than a passing interest in kilts... and I may or may not have recieved the steely glint from him, as well.
