Thompson...
On the other hand, I am wondering if I should be giving you this information! My fear is that, when you have a copy of this book, you might take it seriously!
As I have stated here, and in other places, so many times: the contents of this book are dated, were aimed at influencing the North American market and really should not be looked upon as the kilt-wearer's 'Bible'. To be fair, some of what Thompson says is relevant, but much of it is, by today's standards, misleading. Take it with a pinch of salt!
Hamish,
But for the American just getting into kilt-wearing, I still maintain that for all it's faults, and it does have some, that Thompson's book is still one of the best introductions to American audiences out there, especially considering the public libraries over here lack information on the kilt and Scottish attire, and some sources on the Internet are much more unreliable! :mrgreen:
Cheers, 
T.
