When I was a kid I was given to believe that only women wore tartan without a sporran and that I should always do so. So it came as a bit of a surprise, when I began to get back into wearing the tartan, to discover that many WW1 soldiers routinely didn't wear them.

Around the house is one thing, but out and about?

Does anyone know what the historical line is on this? Do you wear a kilt without a sporran often and under what circumstances?

Best wishes
