Scot or not? Who really cares?

[MacWage]

Welcome aboard!

And, its MacWal

By the way, what is your surname (or its heritage, if not want to give it)?

Mine (Wages) seems to be made up and is from either Scottish or German roots (my cousins and I are researching both sides). Yet, they married Scots and and more Scots. My grandmother's family was ALL German. So, I'm about 1/4 German and almost 3/4 Scot (but actual last name is unknown)!

My cousins are almost EACH called "Wage" by their friends. With my Scottish interest, I got termed "MacWage." As my father is called "Wage" by his cousins, I really AM MacWage ("son of Wage")!

If you hang out here, you'll see folks of many origins, many of non-Scot. There are national tartans, district tartans, and "general" tartans that are open, regardless of family roots. Also, many pick tartans that they like, or because a friend/hero is of that family. The KEY is to KNOW what it IS and to BE ABLE to SAY something intelligable about it. Meanwhile, others are sticklers and will say "person A can ONLY wear kilts A, C, and Q."

Enjoy it here!!!

Jim -

Welcome from Phoenix! I only have one UK original and I love it. I only received my kilt a little under a week ago but I have been posting here since I ordered it. I switched my order so I could get something in stock and I STILL felt it took way too long to get it. I'm not at all patient either.

Now I have three more kilts on order because I enjoy them so much but since I have one kilt already I'm not that concerned about when they will get here. Well....as long as they get here soon....

We have a few members in the Phoenix area and one in Page, AZ. Where in the state are you if I may ask? Will you be at the Highland Games in Flagstaff on Saturday and Sunday? Originally I was just going to be there for one day but my stay has been extended to two.
