April 6, which was yesterday, is National Tartan Day. It's a day to celebrate Scottish heritage. I, of course am of Scottish, Irish, and German decent. Yes, that's me up above back on St Paddy's. In case you're wondering, no that's not the family tartan, but my other family USMC. None the less it's a holiday where families come out, eat, play, mingle, and of course show some Scottish pride.
If you look up WWI pics, you'll even find that Scottish troops were still wearing kilts into battle back then. Bet that scared the shit out of the enemy.
There's nothing more manly than wearing a kilt. Just ask Sean Connery.
And just for the ladies, here's Gerard Bulter.
And if you're not of Scottish heritage, it's okay. There's plenty of tartan's out there, and most families would take it as a compliment if you wore their colors. So go get yourself a nice kilt, or else Rowdy Roddy Piper might smash a coconut over your head.
Ummmm, FYI, this lady prefers Sean Connery in the kilt! But I wouldn't turn down Gerard for a "companion," either. ;-) Hubby has Scottish ancestry, too and is wearing a formal kilt in his friend's wedding. Making him grow the white beard, too. SOOOOO hot!
