Kilt Style Reccomendations

Hey all!

I’m a newbie who just attended my first practice and I’m excited to participate in a festival on September.
One often the guys highly recommended SportKilt. They look great but I was looking at other tartan options they don’t have.
For example the Munro because I’m in the Coast Guard and Douglas Munro was our only Medal of Honor recipient.

Is anyone familiar with this company? Or know if it’s better to compete in a 5 or 9 yard kilt?

Thanks!

Complete Beginner 2027

Hi All

Id like to compete in a highland games and im not built for running. Would like to do caber, shot putt, hammer, weight over bar, lifting stones. I have never competed in any strongman events or athletics and dont know where to start. Im 43 and am not looking to be seriously competing but id like to take part and not hurt myself. More of a bucket list thing. Where do even you start training, practicing etc ? Im based in Dundee if that helps

How do I make this go higher?

Stuck at 24’ to 25’ right now. Looking for ideas I can try to work out so I stop getting smoked on sheaf at games.
