Kilts in the Wind Pictures

**Riverkilt** · 8th February 08, 11:51 PM

Every now and then a new kiltie asks about the wind. David Dalglish's pic of being kilted in a gale (pirated here, hope that's okay) got me to thinking, maybe if we post some photos of our kilts in the wind it would help the new kilties be more aware, or even relax, in the wind.

Here's David in a gale.

And some of my own kilts in the wind pics.

Utilikilt survival II in helicopter rotor wash, Hualapai Hilltop, Arizona

Utilikilt Leather, updraft in Mystery Valley, Utah

Kathy Lare 16 ounce Lochcarron Strome Macdonald of Kingsburgh. Updraft at Bright Angel Point, North Rim, Grand Canyon, Arizona.

USA Kilts MacLean Hunting Casual. Backdraft. Blue Canyon, south of Red Lake, Arizona on the Navajo Nation.

16 ounce Strathmore in Royal Air Force tartan hand sewn by Kathy Lare.
Downdraft Mt. San Jacinto above Palm Springs, California

So, show us some more kilts in the wind pics.

Thanks,

Ron

Yeah, but Ron the wind isn't always that kind.
Remember the one I posted of the Black Watch flag ceremony in Hong Kong?

Not a pic, but a comment. Downtown Franklin is like a lot of other downtown areas -- rows of tall buildings on either side of a narrow street, making a veritible wind tunnel. Many times as I've been walking down the sidewalk to go to the coffee shop, or run drop a package in the FedEx box on the corner, etc., I've felt that the wind was brutally whipping my kilt around and feared exposure.....

....only to catch sight of my reflection in a shop window to discover that my kilt was barely moving at all!

In other words, it seems that the wind playing with the kilt usually feels much worse than it actually is.

My experiences are with heavy weight woolen kilts. I'd be much more cautious in lighter weights.

Good GOD that is creepy.

VERY funny. I like the finger on the lips as if to say "oops" look. CLASSIC.

Also... I WANT to look to see what the tatto is on your thigh (I appreciate tattoo art and Brad has LOTS of them), but I'm scared to look too close. All I need is Kelly walking into the room and asking me "WHAT are you doing?!" Tough to explain to a girlfriend. HAHAHAA
