Kilted weatherman
Robin McElwee was wearing a kilt to do the 23:10 weather forcast tonight - not that we were allowed to see much of it, he was visible from the silver cantle of his sporan upwards, but he looked very smart with his tartan tie.
He is on BBC one.

It was indeed a pleasure to see! A shame that they didn't pan out at the end to show him in all his glory. May we have a similar display on Burns Night, I wonder?

Wow! That's really formal for doing the weather. He went all out! Very cool.

What a shame he could not do it properly, a bow tie ,not a tartan "four in hand", would have been much better with his PC. Oh well!

well spotted Anne!
I missed it as I was out celebrating in my own kilt!
Pity they didn't show him full on as you say.

I have to agree with you Jock. Rob probably got the idea from watching Sir Sean Connery who is, to my mind, one of the most frequent perpetrators of this misdemeanour - a tartan four-in-hand or a lace jabot. With a Prince Charlie? No! Please no!
Etiquette and tradition apart, it just does not LOOK right.
Take care,
Ham.

I think he looks pretty sharp even if he wore a tie instead of a bowtie. Nice to see it on the tele. Too bad it wasn't here in the States.
