Kilt in the wind

[David Dalglish]

It was blowing a gale here today(Carlisle England) & I had to go to the hospital for neck xrays. I decided to wear my 10yd ancient old Stewart kilt to see how it would cope with the wind. I need not have feared, as the kilt was solid as a rock & never even looked like blowning up in spite of very hard & swirling winds. I had some funny comments like" hope that kilt has guy ropes"etc. Also walking along the road, I would get the stares of " brave man wearing a kilt in this weather". it was a great test for the kilt & for my confidence. I was smiling all the time I was out.

Great report from the trenches!
I remember pictures of that kilt. I think a tsunami would have difficulty kilt checking you in that one.

"Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low... "

(That was sung to me by some members of my South Wales choir last night)

With all the high winds these past few days I'd not been out and about kilted since last Wednesday, and suffering withdrawal symptoms. Yet another wild day today when I had to go to the bank, post office, garage, supermarket etc. and being thoroughly fed up of almost a week of trouser tyranny I went out in a cheap lightweight polycotton kilt, teamed with rugby socks and boots. Because I have pinned the two aprons together on such a light kilt (would NEVER do this with a proper kilt) and because of its extra length, to bottom of knee, it preserved my modesty perfectly. I received absolutely no comments or stares.
