Interest in kilts/Scottish things, should benefit Scotland, and UK

[Michael Weatherhead]

Having said all I said, I forgot about the time I tried to order some Scottish stuff, from Ebay. The Ebay store, was based in Scotland. I never recieved my items. I then emailed them, still didn't hear from them. I contacted Ebay. And voila! The online store finally contacted me. I just cancelled the transaction. From then on, I haven't bought any "Scottish" things from the UK. I hate to admit that. But, their stuff is pricey. Shipping is usually outrageous. I buy them from the US, or Canana. Shipping is faster, things are usually cheaper.

The other part of my thread, dealt with passing on what we are interested in, or sharing it with others. To the chagrin of some posters on this site, I DID WEAR MY KILT, AT HALLOWEEN. And because of that, I had conversations with people, about kilts, Scotland, their Scottish ancestry, etc. Had some Mexican people ask me about my kilt, and the haunted castle I built, for our halloween party. They asked me why I did all of it. I told them that I had once lived in Scotland, and I'm interested in all things Scottish and Irish. They proceeded to ask me about Scotland. We had a nice conversation. They were very interested in it. Also, last March, in the school I worked for, I did a big Scottish/Irish display, for St. Paddy's day. I had music, flags, posters, maps. (Didn't have my kilt then, or I would have worn it). Several teachers came up after, and spoke with me, about their ancestors, clans, etc. Let's spread the word, share our excitement with others. That's all.
