Missed kilted opportunity at Papal Mass, Glasgow

But part of it was also because I did not want to be "the American tourist in the kilt."

Matt, speaking as a 'Home town boy' here in Scotland, I have to say, that I personally cannot think of anyone more entitled to wear the tartan in this generation than you are.
Your work to preserve our way of life, is - if it's not unique, it is close to being so.
Thank you for all your hard work.

Even though you were not kilted, what an amazing experience! Congratulations to you! I got to see Pope Benedict as part of a young adult pilgrimage when he was in NYC a couple of summers ago and also when staying with Sisters of St. Joseph in Rome...once in a lifetime event TWICE!

Surely you will remember & treasure this wonderful experience all your days!

How right you are, even now my family and friends are still quite high with the excitement of it all, what a triumph his visit to Britain was after all the negativity directed at him, this man could be a great a pope as his predecessor
