Jock

I do not think anyone here on the forum would ever consider calling you, a giant of men among our resources for all things "truly" scottish, " that old fuddy duddy Jock".

Mind you not because you aren't one, but more likely because no one I know uses that language anymore. ;)

In all seriousness though, your statements and opinions here, although often disagreed with by "us young'uns", truly show us how the historical and true scottish gentleman sees the wearing of the kilt and all its accoutrements in their own land and over many years leading up to and including today.

I for one had also wondered about the grouse foot after seeing a number of them for sale in various sources, but nary a word about them here on the board. So I find this information and discussion very valuable, particularly in that it will likely save me from ever buying one and not only being out the cost but also being embarrassed were I ever to wear it in Scotland or to a major scottish event, especially one where I might run into Jock himself.

Thanks Jock for just being you---fuddy duddy or no---as that is how we like it, you are what you are, what we in the states call a "straight shooter". Not necessarily predictable all the time, but always reliable to give us the straight scoop on the tuely scottish perspective. And I for one greatly appreciate that.
