Jimmy,

I am afraid that I take exception to that comment. As one who has worn traditional kilts from the age of fourteen and who, now at the age of 68, continues to do so, I also embrace the "modern" or contemporary kilts which are doing much to make kilt-wearing so popular. At the same time, I DO know "the first thing about the traditions" and I DO very much care!

My "Kilt Kollection" is growing by roughly one every two months or so - sometimes a good traditional 8 yarder and sometimes something different. Currently, I have eleven traditional tartan kilts and 25 assorted 'modern' kilts, with three more on order - each one being of equal value and importance to me.

To wear 'modern'/contemporary kilts in no way shows disrespect to the traditional kilt, in fact quite the opposite - they compliment them. As has been said so often: kilts are not costumes, they are garments, and as such must be allowed to develop and progress.

Just my fivepennyworth!
