Scottish Tartans Authority publicly condemns kilt traditions
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...underwear.html
Wow. Disappointing.
It would be one thing if they stated that men should have the choice to break from tradition without feeling 'unScotsmanlike'. But no, they are blanketly condemning the tradition of wearing the kilt regimental style, calling it "childish and unhygienic". And while I agree that there can be hygiene issues for hire-shop kilts, I don't think it's fair for them to cast aspersions across the entire kilt-wearing world by saying that "common sense and decency" require wearing underpants.
(This issue made it all the way to our local TV news.)
