I received a warm welcome by the Scots on my kilted holiday in the Auld country on my ’09 visit. I am sure that will be repeated next month, when I return.

When I open my mouth it is quite clear, I am not playing Scotsman. Many years ago, when I visited with Mum’s uncle, he would say in his Scottish brogue, “boy, would you speak the King’s English”.

Yes, I am proud of Scottish heritage. The kilt is comfortable to wear. Both reasons make a powerful combination to wear the kilt. Some don’t understand that? Oh well, there are bigger mysteries in life, isn’t there?

BTW, the most who don’t understand it live in the US. Usually they are male; the ladies give their approval shown in various affectionate ways!
