What's The Most Geographically Remote Place You've Worn A Kilt?
For me, has to be Rainbow Bridge National Monument - a 6 hour boat ride uplake to get there, a long hike from the town of Navajo Mountain, Utah which is said to be the most remote town in the Lower 48.

Unless you wanna count sitting in an airliner over the Pacific Ocean halfway between San Diego and Maui...
Those long desolate stretches of Southern Nevada and the jeep roads of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado are pretty remote, but for me, the above two were the most remote places I've kilted in.

I've worn a kilt in my back yard... It's a jungle back there.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

That's great humor and really put a smile on my face.

You mean Maui doesn't count as remote? I guess the question is remote in relation to what? Because, wherever you go, there you are.
Another great shot, Ron, as usual.

Does sitting kilted in an airliner over arctic Greenland or Baffin Island count?
Sooke on the Pacific Coast of Canada's Vancouver Island is probably the furthest I have been from my own home in a kilt though I suspect that from the perspective of the OP and others, the Spanish owned island of Gran Canaria off the west coast of Morocco would count as being more remote.

For me, it's a toss-up. Both shots were from an Alaskan Cruise I went on four years ago.
Here we're in the middle of Glacier Bay. This is pretty remote, but I'm on a floating city.

And here, it's just one layer of plastic between us and the ocean -just north of Ketchikan. I really was kilted - Black Stewart SWK Standard. Getting in was quite an adventure.

Well, there are worse places to wear the kilt than there. You never know who is out in the hills laddie, you are seldom alone!
