Overview
- Ferguson announced on social media that the tartan kilt he wore during his cross‑country walk went missing after a suitcase his mother carried was left on a New York City subway platform on Monday.
- The case was last seen on the A train platform at 175th Street on the route toward Penn Station between about 7:00 and 7:45 p.m., according to Ferguson.
- Ferguson says the kilt is one of only two made and is heavily worn with a distinctive rip and many holes, giving it strong sentimental value beyond any monetary worth.
- The kilt accompanied Ferguson’s roughly 3,000–3,100 mile trek from Los Angeles to Boston, a fundraising drive that raised more than £1 million for Scottish Action for Mental Health.
- Ferguson said his mother is unharmed and he has mentally ‘said goodbye’ to the garment while hoping that social media or a New Yorker might find and return it, a loss that underscores how travel can affect high‑profile campaigns.
