    Thank you for sharing that link, Dutchy.

    An intertesting article but very much from the authors (typical) American point of view directed to a general American audience. Though I personally take exception to some of what was said and the use of terms like "modern era" and "kilts have become more mainstream", I certainly understand the intent of the article and appreciate its positive portrayal of the Kilt.

    Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle. "The Last Highlander" Sara Fraser

    Curious about him saying the sporran originally being a hip worn thing. First time I have heard this one.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
