What we Scots boys were given.....
:rolleyes:
Back when I was a lad growing up in Scotland we never had a problem with what we should wear under our kilts. We wore what our mothers gave us to wear and in my case and the case of many of my contemporaries what mothers gave us was schoolgirls bottle green or navy blue knickers.
Now to those of you who think knickers are those trousers that some golfers wear, let me tell you that girls knickers are what schoolgirls in the UK wore under their school skirts. Mothers chose them because back then the only underwear that was available for boys were off white trunks and it was felt that those under a kilt would draw attention when the lad was horsing about while playing or if they were to sit incautiously or should the wind lift the pleats. It was thought that wearing girls knickers of a colour that toned with the main colour of the tartan would make any flash less obvious.
Anyway I was given bottle green knickers to wear with my kilts and I found them so confortable that i have continued to wear similar items under my pleats to this day.
These items can be seen for sale on e-bay just click on to girls gym knickers and see what is under my kilt.
Iain.
