Tweed Great Kilt

[Jock Scot]

I wonder if a person didn't have your extensive experience and education (I mean this as a complimen), would they still think that the great kilt was a historical costume? I doubt it. ;-)

I think to most in Scotland educated or not (and lets not forget, by the way, that most in Scotland don't wear the kilt at all, ever) would consider the great kilt as an unnecessary garment. Historical? Yes. Relevant to todays situations? Absolutely not. But then, most here in Scotland, don't have these romantic thoughts-------apart from romantic thoughts about winning a football championship!---------- that some of those outwith these shores seem to have.

As seen at the latest international football matches the kilt in its more modern form is the way the kilt is worn by the Scots supporters. Albeit in many different ways! So yes, from the Scots point of view, the great kilt , particularly so in a non tartan form, would be thought of as being most definitely a historical and an irrelevant theatrical costume.

Sorry, but you did ask.
