Wearing the kilt in Scotland

[tpa]

On one occasion, in a pub in Inverness, a group of Scots bought me a wee dram and kept it filled throughout the evening because they liked seeing a kilt. Despite my best efforts, I could not buy them a round in return. On a more recent trip, I received several wee drams at various hotels because someone liked seeing a kilt on the premises.

You do not have to be wearing a kilt in Scotland to be offered multiple drams, but if it works for Americans - go for it. It has not worked for me when kilted, but once in the Western isles, visiting a friend in his local, I refused every dram offered, but still had to drink 12 which just arrived. After that I lost count.
