Kilts?

[BigonaBianchi]

is there some regulation about who can legally wear one? I mean I have precisely 0% scottish ancestry and I have never been there....I hav edrunk some of their whiskey though so am I eligable? I ride past a kilt shop most days in Ingatestone...

I'd certainly be happier in a kilt that those pomposarse dicky blacktie jobs.

Do you have a kilt?
Will you be wearing it over the festive period?
What is your tartan?
What is it about a man in a kilt that causes so many women go weak at the knees?

In answer to the above questions.

Macfarlane, from my mothers grandmother (a bit tenous I know but I don't know of any clan links for Edinborough)
Don't know but sounds like I need to get a kilt.

Anybody can wear a kilt there are a few tartans like the Black Watch, Royal Steward and a few others that can be worn, I also have a camouflage one and another in blue denim, next year I want to treat myself to a pure black one

Fabulous picture. Thanks Numbnuts! You've made my day.

T'was indeed a good picture!

But a simple tip: if your shoelaces are too long, just cut them to the required length, thus avoiding having to wind the surplus around your legs!

 

[HLaB]

I don't have a kilt; I think I've only worn one one or twice.

 

[Noodley]

Yes I do.
I may wear mine tonight, if I can be bothered. Probably not.

You are not doing to well at currying favour.

 

[Saddle bum]

I'll be going to SWMBOs staff do this year and she expects me to wear my Kilt.

Don't you have to be entitled to wear a kilt?

It's not the same as playing for Scotland, where you are eligible if your mother ate some Scots shortbread one Sinday afternoon.

 

[wafflycat]

Anyone can wear a kilt these days. In the old days, it was the traditional dress of highlanders and denoted the clan you belonged to. Hence, in my case, the family on the maternal side is Sinclair (grandmother) and Mackenzie (great-grandmother; who married a Sinclair).

Ranald MacDonald? Hang on, red hair, white face, big red nose? That Ranald MacDonald?

 

[mickle]

I am going to pretend you didn't wrote that.

 

[spandex]

No.
No.
I with hold my name in fear of the repercussions. Is that not right Mickle
I have to be careful of who I show my legs to because of the repercussions I know to well.

Mickle you do look good in your Kilt (If I do say so my self)
