The Twisted Kilt Society is an organization of Celtic supporters that founded the Southeast Alabama Highland Games. But many have asked what the Society is. Well, the TKS is a collection of individuals who enjoy comradery and kilts. In January of 2012, a couple of friends started a little group on Facebook to encourage a friend to wear his kilt in public. What began jokingly as three guys meeting
around the city for dinner began to grow as more and more guys proclaimed they had kilts and wanted to join in. With each outing, more people became aware of the group and began to join on Facebook. When the TKS began, it was a fun time to all those who joined in. To us, it was just a fun way to get together. Since those first meetings in Dothan, Alabama, it has grown from a group of locals and has expanded into a multi-state, as well as international organization spanning multiple continents, that enjoys a good pint down at the pub. We all enjoy fun and frivolity, and as the name suggests, gatherings are "no pants allowed" (now any knuckle-head that shows up seriously not wearing ANY bottoms, well, we get to point and laugh). Just a lazy excuse for us to get together and wear our kilts out and about. This event has in recent years grown past the scope of the TKS and has become its own entity. We at the SEAHG are proud to be able provide the Wiregrass with a family friendly way to experience, celebrate and promote Celtic- Gaelic education and history as well as a world class athletics competition.
