Hi Guys (no I'm not dead yet, just been very busy)

My 10 cents worth/four penneth etc

Anyone wearing a kilt, anywhere, is going to draw attention to themselves and Scotland is no exception.

I've worn mine 'up north' numerous times now and still get stared at. I get mostly good comments and the occasional bad one, but I've learnt not to get upset by those.

Inverness/Loch Ness a couple of summers ago brought a lot of attention from European tourists. Had my pic taken on a number of occasions which can get a bit tedious at times, as Hamish will verify.

Edinburgh - I've been kilted a number of times now and rarely see anyone else, unless working in a kilt store, hotel or tourist attraction or playing the bagpipes, wearing one. International Rugby/Football Match days are good, mind, as thats when the Scots come out in force. Then you get to see a sea of kilts which is some sight believe me.

Floors Castle (near Kelso on the Scottish/English borders) was awash with kilts during a massed pipe band demo a couple of years back. There were only two other kilts on display - mine and the lairds!

My advice - don't wait for kilt wearing to become commonplace in Scotland, just wear it and enjoy it.
