How Many Remote/Lone Kilters Out There

**Livingston** · 11th April 08, 07:50 AM

I'd have to say I am somewhat remote. I end up driving about 55 miles to any of the kilt nights up in Denver. Trying to get something going down here but don't know where all the kilties are.

There is a Contractor in town that wears a UK Workman some times that the girls at Home Depot tell me about but I am yet to see him. A few blokes in town that have kilts but don't wear them out but we meet after my Radio show at the No Name for a Nip on Sat. afternoon. Where I live in Coalville everyone knows I wear a kilt and other than the 4 punk kids that think it's cool I am the lone kilter.

There are a couple here in Frederick, but until I came here I'd never have known it. Outside of our Celtic Festival I've never seen anyone else in a kilt in my 7 years here.

Hopefully once we have a kilt night here and I get to meet the Maryland/VA rabble I'll bump into you lot more.

Unless there is a highland games or ren faire in the area, My sons and I are the only ones in Statesville, NC as far as I know!

Well let's see... no ren faires, no highland games, no kilt nights. I was the only kiltie I know in this country until 2 weeks ago when a Singaporean UK wearer showed up at skirtcafe.

Kind of... I live in a county island between East Mesa, and AJ... Not too many kilt wearing folk out here in the aluminum village...

I have not seen another kiltee in my town (Rock Hill, SC), so I have to travel to Charlotte to interact w/ others.

Well I live in Southern California, and we probably have more full time kilt wearers than Scotland. None the less, you almost never run into anybody wearing one unless you are at a renfair or highland games.

Even though there are hundreds, if not thousands of us wearing the kilt it's just a drop in the bucket. We have millions of people living in this area and most people have never seen anyone wearing a kilt casually.

For some reason we have a real problem getting kilt nights together too. We're all too busy, and traffic is so bad it's hard to make a go of it. Tomorrow's kilt night in San Diego might be lucky to have four of us show up, and that will be a great turn out.

Are you kidding me? Another kiltie in this town!
I live in hickville bubba country called Beaver Dam,Kentucky.
Now how you find that is you go south from the ohio river about twenty miles until you come to a very wooded area,then you proceed about another five an you come into a little town called Fort Hartford-Don't stop there what ever you do-then about a half mile further puts you smack in the middle of Beaver Dam.
I live about four miles east of that about as deep into the woods as you can go.
If I ran into another kiltie I would faint dead away.
Have thought about kilting up a couple of Racoons just to break up feeling alone.

Seriously,we do get into a larger city not far from here several times a week,but I have never ran into anyone else kilted.
Have had a lot of people come up to me curious about my kilts,and comment about never actually seeing anyone wearing one other than pictures or tele.

I know there are many others from my state and surely we will run into each other sooner or later.
Meanwhile,i'll just keep on spreading the word (Pants are out guys)

Sometimes I envy a great number of x-markers when they organise their kilt nights in famous USA and Canadian towns and cities but coming from Scotland and living in Scotland, it is obviously very common to see a multitide of kilties throughout the year especially during the better months when the wedding season is in vogue. Every weekend throughout the year in Glasgow and Edinburgh and other places, kilts are popular, not just at national football matches.
Any time I wear my kilt there are always other kilt-wearers present, certainly when I wear the kilt it is at social events which are quite frequent. I am not an every day kilt wearer but I do like to wear it at every opportunity.
Possibly I would like to wear it as much as Arlen but sometimes it is just not possible
