I share a lot of the views expressed here,and like Graham,I am also was a little worried about the reaction of my wife when, I said that I would like to wear my kilt a little more than I do at the moment. The village gossip would not doubt go along the lines that."That woman up the road is married to a real oddball." However they all know that I'm English so by default am already a little oddball.

One reaction I was concerned about however, was both of my children (9+7)are at school,and when I turnred up for the national day parade I had on my kilt. I got it into my mind that the other kid's would begin to tease mine because by saying "Your Dad's wearing a skirt" they would, no doubt make their lives hell, because of my passion for the Kilt. All of this was totally unfounded. The parents and teachers all complimented me and some were envious.

My Son and daughter are totally used to seeing me in The kilt now and hardly ever comment.
like Hamish if people call me ecentric then I'm proud to bear that lable. I've spent a good part of my life wondering what others think of me(Stupid I know). Being, measured, and appraised on performance and personality.

I feel so sure of myself now that I don't care If people think I'm screwed up ,or weired just because of my choice of clothing
