Having worked most of my life either in Scotland or for Scottish companies, my wife and I have attended many Christmas Dinner-Dances where Scottish colleagues wore kilts. This prompted my wife to suggest I also should wear a kilt to these events to which I readily complied. I found I could not believe how incredibly comfortable wearing a kilt was and the next step of wearing a kilt at home was not far away.
Browsing the internet I came accross Tom's Cafe (sadly not the same forum it used to be) and later X-Marks were I found that wearing a kilt casually was more widespread than I thought and I soon gained encouragement to wear kilts out and about and especially when hiking.
Unfortunately, as I have mentioned in prevous posts, this has not been with the blessing of my wife, which I do not understand given it was she who kindled my first interest.
