My advice: Don't listen to this guy...

[Carlo]

I suppose my keys, wallet and cell phone are meant to be stuffed into my hose along with my imitation "dirk". lolz.

Off to battle!

You must have forgotton #11 cause that dirk is no weapon I've ever seen as part of a kilt outfit. Irony off

What I wonder is how you came across this film. Surely you know better how the wear your kilt than most people on youtube.

I was watching videos on the Scottish Chiefs on the STV channel and it popped up in the recommended videos for me. I thought I'd click on it to see what the lad had to say.

I'd feel bad about making fun of the guy except for the fact that he continually defends his lack of correct facts.

I'd say that this calls for a new emoticon here. The Facepalm.

I do feel bad and I will say sorry if he registers here to get some proper advise for the next time.
And one more case why I don't like it when machines choose links for websites, as we can see in the comments on youtube people with no experience in kiltwearing actually believe stuff on youtube.

Maybe it was partially a tongue in cheek video.... naw.

[CameronCat]

Hee-hee! Since this guy is so easily led, perhaps his petard needs hoisting.
"Head games" are always the best kind, so let us lead him well astray...

Quick, everybody back You-Tube to post "authoritative" comments stating that he's obviously
wrong because history shows that the pleats were always worn at the front. It was hoped that
the extra material would trap burrs and thistle bits, thus adding camouflage to the kilted warrior.

Make up some citations, [e.g., History of the Kilted Man, Frambold and Johnson, Edinburgh, 1925] to support your
theses and of course cite the famous garb of "The Loyal 83rd" at the Battle of Loch Scridain in 1313. 'Tis said the Scots were "nigh invisible" to invaders. (Anybody really think he'll check your citations?)

Creative writing, for the win. <wink>

Lol. Tempting but we might inadvertantly further confuse someone who actually wants to learn. How would you like it if we used your own suggestion on you?

I was respectful in my comments to him on YouTube but he brushed me off... I think I'll post a comment that if anyone wants to learn how it's really done, they should consult xmarksthescot.com!

Many years ago I attended Dale Carnegie Training in public speaking. One main point I recall and have found to be true in my own life is a presentation should encompass no more than 1 percent of your knowledge on a subject. The remaining 99 percent provides the confidence factor important for a strong presentation and puts one in a position to handle questions with ease.

This young man’s second mistake was recording a presentation that represents 100 percent of his knowledge on the subject. His first mistake, obviously, was his choice of kilt shop.
