Unfortunatly it does, which is a shame really, maybe its time that perception was changed. !
the further north you head the more likely you are to see the Kilt worn casually, I am suprised that youve no seen more, although your more likely to see them in the evening than during the day in a shopping centre.

Maybe on Wednesday youll see a few more. hope your settling in Ranald, have you been down the Booly yet and watch the car neds burn out thier tyres?
