Gearing up for the Olympics 2012.....Organised through VisitBritain, two members of the US team visit Kinloch Anderson to learn more about the history of the kilt, tartan and to try on an outfit.

Bryan Clay (Olympic Champion in decathlon and holder of the "World's Strongest Man") and Jeremy Campbell (Paralympics Champion in modern pentathlon)thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Bryan said "My favorite part of the day was my kilt fitting and the opportunity to learn a lot about Scottish history from people who really know the culture. I learned about the kilt, traditional Scottish ceremony and important role of the bagpipe player. It was fascinating.  I was really surprised by how comfortable wearing a kilt is. It will be interesting to wear it tomorrow at the Highland Games but I am looking forward to it."
