Dateline: Storrington, West Sussex, United Kingdom

Ladies & Gentlemen,

StarbkjrUS and I have the distinct pleasure and indeed honour of officially announcing the birthday of Mr. Hamish Bicknell; our mentor and leader in the acquisition and tasteful wearing of kilts. Ham is one of our founding members and unquestionably the chieftain of our little Rabble o’ Kilties.

Ham is very possibly the world’s foremost documented (as in BBC Documentary

) kilt wearer as well as by all accounts an all around nice guy. As I type this, Ham is in possession of 63 kilts with, I believe, a Northumberland tartan on the way. It is our understanding that he has his eye on a few more.

Please join us in congratulating Ham on his 70th birthday. We all wish him many more happily kilted years.

Happy Birthday Ham and guid on ye mon!!

We are posting this now so that Ham has a great morning to wake up to! Please add your own thanks to this thread.

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Ham! All the best!

I had to come out of hiding for this!

I wonder what Hamish wants for his birthday? I'll have to think on that a while. . . Could it be. . . MORE KILTS!!

May the best years always be those ahead!

Here's wishing you the very best birthday possible. I also want to personally thank you for all the help you have given me as I entered the kilted world. You advice, tips, and photo album have been a great help.

All the best!

Happy Birthday, Ham.
I hope you got a break
from the heat and some
cooperation from your
computer for the occasion.

Don't stay away long.

Regards,
An admirer in Cincinnati.

I would have never guessed your age. I am going to want to wear kilts more often if it keeps one looking as young as you do!

I hope you have a great birthday, and get to go out and do something that you have always wanted to do, noooo, not buy another kilt, but I am sure you will find something.

Best Wishes,

DALE.
