What are the tartans? Plaid Preacher mentions the Scottish Wildcat, but I see a number of lovely tartans.

Ian and Stephan are both making box pleated kilts.

The ladies in the Contemporary Kilt class everyone is planning on hand-stitching their kilts.

Some Kampers are a little more dedicated than others.

On Monday I gave my presentation on Contemporary Kiltmaking.

And Monday evening we were treated to a cookout.
