Hi Graham -

I wasn't suggesting that everyone tries this - only those who would otherwise go out just in shorts.

Sheez - what a lot of questions!

Are you considered an oddity even in Scotland?
No idea, but then I consider I'm dressed normally so why should I think others think differently?

Do many others go kilted as much as you?
No, there's only a handful of permanent kilt wearers (excluding those who wear the kilt as part of a working uniform).

How do Scots feel about non-Scots wearing kilts?
No problem - happy to see it, provided it is being worn properly.

Do you manage OK in the winter?
Manage what ok in the winter? Just wear a heavier kilt and longer outdoor jacket with only an inch or so of kilt showing keeps it dry and down.

Do you wear a kilt to work also?
Be very chilly without it!

What kilts do you prefer?
All are wool and tartan.

How many kilts do you have?
Counting just the ones I currently wear rather than an overall total, there's 1xdress for formal functions, 2x13oz and 1x16oz for office, 3x13oz for casual and 1 oldie that I don't mind getting dirty for mucking about in the garden, etc. Plus the lightweight 11oz for hiking, hillwalking etc, which is about half an inch shorter than the others. That makes a grand total of 9 in regular use, replaced on an approx cycle of 1 new kilt every 2-3 years.

As for Blu's suggested piccie - you must be joking!! No seriously, have just upgraded my system to WinXP and as a result most of my old hardware is non-compatable. Once I get my new scanner I'll see what can be done.
