Someone help me here, for some reason, I think Westshore at one time wore kilts. Can anyone help me? Ok, I went back and read the first post which I should have done from the start.

I remember when they went from Wormleysburg Westshoremen to Westshoremen Bonnie Scots - but I don't remember kilts even though it would have made some sense... "Bonnie Scots"

Indeed Tom,there was a kilt involved.(dont remember the tartan)during the westshore/bonnie scots days,it's possible that the bonnie scots kilts were worn by a section.I have seen photos of the tartan,very nice one!We're gonna need Jeff to confirm this one.

Hey Scott, haven't seen anyone in kilts in the (few) WSM-BS pics I've seen over the last few years. Used to work with a WSM-BS member who marched mid 60s to 72 but lost contact with him. Did see some drummers with tams including one that looks like Jeffs dad. I have a copy of the 2004 DVD that Westshore put out and think I remember seeing a pic of members in kilts. But... no idea if it was Westshoremen-Bonnie Scots or a real old pic of the Millersburg Bonnie-Scots who merged with 'da Worms' in '59.

But I least I know what you look like now. :thumbup:

Just saw Hairbears post... hope someone names which clans tartan was used (hey I have in-laws who are part of "Clan Cameron" :tongue: Trivia bit; US Air Force corps Bolling Field - Wash. DC used the Mitchell tartan in honor of Gen. Billy Mitchell (so sez the recoding I have :thumbup: ).
