KILTMAKING COURSE

Online traditional tailored kilt training launch, Askival of Strathearn Kilt College.

The kilt is an important part of Scottish Heritage and preserving the craft of kiltmaking is something that all Scots would be supportive of. If more people from around the world learn the craft of the traditional tailored kiltmaking, then we can ensure that this precious
knowledge will be passed on to future generations.

That's why the Askival of Strathearn Kilt College has created a 100% online course that guides aspiring kiltmakers of all experience levels to access the highest quality of instructions and support on making a kilt in the comfort of their homes.

I know that members of Scottish American Society endeavour to preserve and promote Scottish culture and tradition in Ohio, so thought that your community might be interested in knowing about the on line training forthe traditional tailored kilt.

Please pass the link below to all your members who may be interested in the Kilt College on line course and joining our April 2020 intake. The closing date for enrollment is 21 March 2020.

We have been looking them over and they are absolutely fascinating. A real peek into life back into the 1920's. They are now available for anyone interested to read in the Special Collections department at the Akron Public Library.

*Louisa's mother, Jean Risk Morton Clark was once secretary of the above group and left them to Louisa for safe keeping.
