My late Grandfather used to take me to the Remembrance Day services in Winnipeg. Not sure what regiment, but the glengary he wore (I now have it) looks very similar to this tartan http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/medi...ge:Erskine.gif worn by the Scots Fusiliers of Canada.

For part of the day we would watch the pipebands, the canons, and aeverything else to take in. Both sides of my family have Scottish Roots, but my mom's side still practised alot of the customs. I knew about those roots long before ordering a kilt. For as long as I could remember I had thought of getting a kilt. When my wife and I ended up in Scotland and Ireland I decided to look into getting a kilt. Needles to say the ones I could find were either way out of a backpackers price range, or they were crap.

A few years later I saw an article about a local guy making cheap kilts (Bear) I ordered one up (Black Watch) and have been upgrading for years now. I now have a kilt in my Father's tartan, and I need a traditional Mackenzie to replce the casual one (I am thinking MacKenzie Weathered).
