Too bad for him, but I don't like the lady they interviewed about Kilts. Mrs Adamson-Ross says that "Sean Connery is one of the worst-dressed Scotsmen"  . Sean Connery can do no wrong.

Good on Nick Fiddes for his comments, tho! As for setting Scottish attire back 100 years by not wearing a sporran, umm, I'm afraid I do that sometimes as well.

Yeah, I didn't understand the remark about Sean Connery either; I've never seen anything amiss with his kilt outfits, and, as I understood it, he is a sort of patron saint of kilt wearers.

Some of the comments left on the article by Scots deserved to be challenged though and I did challenge them!

Just read your comments on the article..... Well stated, sir!
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Well said, Trefor, though I have to say I've been to Cardiff several times and yet to see a kilt there, but I always see at least a few guys out and about in kilts when I'm in Edinburgh.

Personally, it amazes me just how many men manage to get this very basic detail wrong... perhaps kiltmakers should apply a small courtesy label in the back of every kilt that says... "Pleats to the Back" - or something equally simple to understand. Heck... make it removeable for the enlightened.
