Alas, the day has come when my kilt no longer fits. *Big Sigh*
Granted, I did buy it quite a long time ago, back in 1998 when I came to Scotland for the first time. I was with my old flame Gavin and we were visiting his Dad on Skye, and while we were out hiking (and almost killing ourselves I might add, nearly sliding down a huge cliff) his Dad spoke with the folks at Dunvegan (the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland) and got me sorted with a beautiful MacGregor kilt.
Being young I bought the short version, partly because I thought it looked prettier and partly because I couldn’t afford to get the longer version! It’s too bad really, but such is life.
I can actually still get in it, but it has to ride waaaay up on my waist – I have a very short torso so this looks very Erkel-ish – and I have to use the last settings on each of the buckles. And remember how I said it was short? Well, now that it’s way up high on my waist that also means it’s way up high on my legs! Certainly not appropriate for a Real Lady!
So I’m wondering if perhaps I should get one from Highland Titles, have a change of tartan? Of course I feel very partial to my MacGregor, I’m not sure if I want to change over, but I’ll scope out what’s available now that I’ve got my new title of Lady of Glencoe.
What do you think I should do? Opinions?
