Hey guys, stay away from the cookies You guys are going a little bit weird, almost drunk

For Christmas Eve Carols at my Episcopal Church, I'll be wearing Anderson Ancient. For Christmas with the family, I'll be wearing Fraser Red Modern. However, for a Christmas specific tartan, I like Stewart Black Ancient. It reminds me of Christmas lights at night.

You might be surprised to know that not unlike everyone else before the invention of personal firearms, the vikings most important weapon is the spear.

Excellent history lesson. We have the 12 days of Scotch tastings and rank order them. The top three are "stored" for future celebrations.

My axe kilt pin is my favorite.

51:46 "... it was the two pocket sporran for..." Nice idea, where to I purchase one?

I recently got married in Swansea, Wales. I wore a kilt for the first time in my life. Five of us wore Kilts and the accompanying items of clothing. The tartan was neutral. Not of any clan or family, though i have Scots ancestry on both sides of my family. I initially wanted the Anderson tartan, which would have been from my 3x grt grandfathers family (Lockhart Anderson). I chose a neutral tartan though, as i liked the colours and we were three Welshmen and two Sassenachs. There is a Welsh tartan, but not keen on the colour. Anyway, the wedding went well and i asked the one true Scots guest what he thought, and he was positive about our choice on the whole. So yes, i was not wanting to offend anyone, but all the guests said how smart we were. Steve Mount, Swansea

The shield

Family ancestors are McAllister, Cummings, Graham, Hall, O'Brien, Boyce

Please look up McNeil from Scotland. I don't remember if it's from the highlands or the lowlands. Thank you.

Great history lesson Eric ...!

13:00 *Mitchell* (Galbraith/Russell/Hunter) for Christmas. The fact that it's my first tartan kilt purchased from USA Kilts and my father-in-law's family name doesn't play into that choice at all... eh? 😁

Just made this, felt it needed something more so u steeped a bag of orange and cinnamon tea in it. Quite good!

Can you a Mackay blue kilt? How much extra

I’m Scottish and Irish ! Finley/shaw on my dad side and Hammond on my mom side

imagine if men went about lifting womans skirts he would get jailed and be branded a beast . but its OK for woman to lift a man's kilt and just get a wee stop it but another man lifting another man's kilt is just pathetic af it's so wrong

So, I'm glad you made this episode, and that leaves me with a not so serious question, what tartan do you think the Joker would wear, or would he have his own, and if so, if given full creative authority, how would you envision it?

I’m a woman, and I second this “Yes!” It’s how I wear my kilted skirts (2 maxi length; 1 midi length). I wear a solid colored sweater that matches a color in the tartan, or “goes with.” For example, the sweaters I wear with my Isle of Skye kilted skirt are medium green, heathered purple, or pale yellow.

I'm Scottish and love haggis. However, I chose not to know what it's made of. But I do know the authentic ones are served inside a sheep's stomach. But you don't eat that bit. Please remember that not all are good and some are very good. Just like many other things.

How much would it cost to have the kilt taken in?

Without a belt my kilt won't stay up. I'm fat, 53X53. I'm in the snuggest notch on the straps. How about bachelor buttons so I can wear good braces?

I got one with my last order. Really nice and really big 👍

I reckon he's a Campbell. So I'd go with that.

Is this literally the "no true scotsman" fallacy?

Freedom of Derry

If someone calls my kilt a skirt why would I get upset. Technically a kilt is a skirt just special kind of skirt.

The best version I've ever heard is in the movie Miller's Crossing, sung by Frank Patterson and accompanied by a Thompson sub-machine gun.

Does it come in black or the black and brown?

How emotional this song makes me feel. The lyrics send a loving message, each word gives a profound message of healing. ❤😂

Ulster Irish

ROFL @2:58 & 3:04 That scotch is probably the high point... though drowning it scotch, you know sterilizing it sounds like a great idea.

Descendant of the MacGregors here. Man it still stinks how my ancestors were shoved out of our lands for freaking sheep. Doesn't help that my particular ancestors were pretty much forbidden from using their own name thanks to our Campell rivals and other nasty folk.

U Mean acetate VISIGOTHS

G'day ..Been a while since this vid came out but....I have a few utility kilts that indeed do take a bit of ironing but none are hybrid ..all one material.. What I do have and require little maintenance is leather kilts ...Even the cheap ones are good but I just bought a higher quality one , only 20 inches hem but worn on the hip and it's awesome ..

A wool ironing quilter's pad will also help get sharper creases in the pleats.

I agree, but, folks should be respectful. I was once at the Celtic Festival. A guy walks in wearing shorts. Another guy shouts "Joe! You're not in a kilt! Here wear this one!" And he then whipped off his kilt and handed it to "Joe". I felt that was disrespectful tot he kilt and/ or the tartan to just wave it around like a towel.

When jumping on the bed?

+USAKiltsOfficial *German **_Lebkuchen_** and other cookies would be more appropriate for Jägermeister Kräuter-Liqueur as diluted.* Distilled from a fermented cabbage mash.

I like the inside sporran pocket for business cards. But you could also store beer tickets in there while at Celtic festivals.

I love the Gaelic language; I’m learning it on Duolingo! I think if you want to preserve the culture, preserve the language. I blame England for banning Gaelic after the Jacobite rebellion. This totally contributed to the endangerment of the language. This is also why I’m a Scottish nationalist (only been once and don’t have any ancestry). Hopefully the language is kept. ALBA GU BRATH! AIRSON ALBA!

Where can I find a hat like you are wearing

A logo kilt pin would be nice. So would t-shirts or polos with a small logo on the left side like the Lacoste croc. 🐊

Wearing braces with a kilt was very common in the late 19th and early 20th century.

This video is so helpful thank you

I love hunting sporrans. I have more hunting sporrans than any others, for both casual & formal. I love how they look, & they just have more room for stuff.

Rocking the German Heritage (aka "MacDeutsch") tartan!

I love a Leather Sporran. Makes the most sense for dressing up or down. It also is just hardier. I have a sealskin which was nice but my dog chewed it. Love USAkilts. Keep up the fun!!

Here's an idea for us ladies - a sporting but with a long strap to be worn as cross-body bag. Or just the strap to attach to a sprran of the Lady's choice,
