Back to Work & Black to Work

**cessna152towser** · 8th January 07, 11:52 AM

Back to work today after the Christmas holiday to earn some more money for my kilt fund. After being casually kilted every day since Christmas and faced with only two more formal clothing options today - heavyweight black kilt with Argyle jacket or pinstripe trouser suit - the kilt was the obvious winner.

Off to Selkirk first where I had to sit as Assessor at a custody court

The magnificent Court House was very busy today with Sheriff Court and District Court sittings. There were crowds of people waiting in the foyer and stairway for cases to call. Many were of the type which we might describe as chavs in the UK or rednecks in the USA and can be quite intimidating but the few who did comment on the kilt were all very complimentary.

This grand building was constructed in the 19th century as a replacement for the earlier court nearby where Sir Walter Scott presided. The original court is now a museum.

Later I had to call in at a local law office to collect some desk work, but home for lunch first and time for a photocall beside the red fence.

I like the pleats on this kilt, though when I am in court and wearing a robe these are covered by the gown. Will be wearing same kilt again tomorrow to court at Duns.

Nice photos C152T. Glad I don't have to go to court in a building like that. I would be too afraid that the gallows would be next!

Nice shots great looking outfit and you are right thats a magnificent court house, though I dont want to see the inside.

My opinion, while the buildings are very nice, and all of your kilt shots look wonderful, I am most taken with the magnificent muttonchop sideburns you have.

More people need facial hair!

Great pics, as always

great pics...I would say the chavs should have been far more intimidated!

**Tattoo Bradley** · 8th January 07, 01:12 PM

Yeah, I would be in fear for my neck in a court like that indeed!

I've got a black one too and they are very handy. You can dress them up or dress them down very easily.
It looks good on you.
Love the pics!

Not sure that signature makes me all warm and fuzzy with people commenting about hanging from the gallows...

Brings a new meaning to "swing," doesn't it?

Yeah,, I guess you're right

I still say that a kilt has to have that swing!
