Banned From a Pub in Aberdeen

[highlander_Daz]

Frank your dead right, its very upsetting that the whole weat side of Scotland is disrupted during old firm matches, I was one in Girvan (not far from Ayr) and was unlucky enough to be caught up in a rumpus between old firm fans, one man was beaten senseless with a stool and another needed hospital treatment, all in thye name of "sport"

With apologies to Peter and the Test Tube Babies:

Banned from the pubs
Get out of here!
Banned from the pubs
No, you can't have a beer!
Banned from the pubs
Go on your way!
Banned from the pubs
No KILTS, they say!

Having worked in many pubs in Glasgow (but sadly not Aberdeen) over the years (as a musician), I can assure you that those pubs which don't permit football wear or team colours are more likely to be at the civilised end of the social spectrum. And oddly enough where you'd normally be most likely to encounter a kilted clientele....

Interesting.

Yes, the heritage will always be Scottish, which brings up an interesting point. There is controversy today over who invented the kilt -- a couple theories out there are that it was invented by an Englishman, or brought in by Norsemen.

FWIW, the Viking sagas tend to give credit to the Scots for the shorter unbifurcated garments that would sometimes come back with a viking who had returned from a campaign to the Hebrides. Would I call it a "kilt"? Probably not. Most credible sources claim there was no such thing as a kilt 1,000 years ago. Nevertheless, the Vikings talked about a "Scottish style" that was different from what the Norsemen wore.
