On Ascension Day, I will wear my kilt. I will also drive a tank and wear a tank helmet. Both will be painted with my clan tartan.
My mother's family is descended from Clan MacDonnell of Keppoch. I wear the clan tartan proudly at the Portland Highland Games (when I can afford to go). My kilt hangs on the bedroom wall next to my marriage certificate.
If you find yourself in Portland, Oregon message me on this website and we'll visit the Highland Stillhouse. They have imported whisky, bangers, mushy peas, and haggis.

Connection to Ancestor:
On page 132, Tim Feely drinks 2 glasses of Caol Ila. Highland Stillhouse has four varieties of Caol Ila.
