I am very new to kilts. I own 2 modern kilts, an US Air Force and McLaren. I got into kilts dude to a scottish buddy. My closest and only scottish relative was a great Grandma from Fife named Low. Research told me Low is the McLaren tartan but as lowlanders does it matter. Anyway on to my question. I want to explore the great or belted kilt. I want to use it as a blanket on my bed in winter, use it camping/hunting for warmth. As well as maybe for some ren fairs. So would a great/belted kilt work for this? Would I ruin it leaving it on my bed during winter? Also which tartan the McLaren for my family or US Air Force as I am retired. Thanks for the help.
