    What would you like to know?

    Rule number 1 - It's LAMB-et, damn it! It is not pronounced le-MONT.

    Follow rule number 1 and you'll be safe. Break that rule and you're liable to have a dirk slipped into your ribs.

    Don't wear the Black Watch. Everybody and their grandmother will have on Black Watch, especially if it's their first Games.

    The Scottish National is a great choice. It's Scottish, folks will recognize it and appreciate it for what it is, and nobody will give you grief about clan affiliations. AND.....it's a great-looking tartan.

    Mike, the emphasis is in the first syllable, long A and the "N" it not pronounced? So it would sound French when pronounced correctly?

    Or it that a tongue in cheek post?

    Alan, I had already come to that same conclusion about the BW. Just checked the weather foreecast and it looks like a beautiful 78 degrees for Saturday and Sunday, so any of the remaining three would work. Still debating myself. The SN and Lemont are probably the most traditional, but I do love my IN from Rocky. Its my favorite knock around kilt.

    And before anybody gets the idea that I am getting overly concerned about this, don't. Just having some good conversation and getting feedback on what others consider appropriate for the Games.

    Pronunciation is so funny. I actually saw a guy on the news the other day that pronounced his name Mac-eye (MacKay) not Mac-eh. I couldn't believe someone actually used the proper pronunciation. The one that also confuses me is Menzies though. Who would have thought it was really Minges.

    Rob, personally I would either wear the PV Black Watch (depending on the weather in your area) or the box pleated tweed kilt. The tweed is not tartan, but will still be a great looking kilt for a Scottish event. I am sure you would get a ton of great comments on that one, especially with a button down shirt and proper hose. Some really good tweed looks:

    Rob, I'm serious as a heart attack. The 'N' is virtually silent and the emphasis is on the first syllable. LAMB-et. Everyone wants to emphasize the second syllable, hence our standard reply - 'It's LAMB-et, damn it!'
