Kilted in the mall

[Ranald]

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?

Thanks Daz for your kind words, kinder than mine I might add, I thought you was having a dig..Sorry.

Settling in , yes we(the family) love it here, the girls are coming home from school with Scots accents and they've only been there three weeks!

Your right it is up to the likes of you and I to get that message out there (in Scotland)that wearing the kilt is a suitable alternative.The best way I reckon is to just wear your kilt when-ever and where-ever you can.

Seen very few neds up here so far, and I have no idea what the booly is, this kind of behaviour I thought or rather hoped we left behind in grey ol' London.

Would love to met up some day after we've found a more perm residence which is taking up our spare time at weekends ,looking in the Elgin Moray area as we have a good friend there and the land is still beautiful.
Best wishes my friend.

Have been reading this thread with some interest, and must admit that I really did not like going to the Mall before I started wearing the Kilt. Shows people especially at the high end "fashion malls" that kilts are eternal in their class.

Yes as long as people continue to "flash the tartan" as Daz has said it will become less of an issue.

aberdeen boulevard (the "Booley") Is where groups of high performance car fans, meet up and do burn ups and all sorts of crazy things,I think they stopped all that now though it got a bit out of hand.

heres an website about neds

Elgin is a great place, have you looked at Banff or Macduff there are some nice propertys around there, do your homework on the house sale system here its very different from England and you can pay over the odds !!
best wishes

The last time I wore my kilt to the mall, I was walking past the food court, with my bf a bit behind me and I felt someone grab my ***. I turned around and asked my boy friend if he did it. He said no. I realized that it was on of three teenage girls we had passed a moment before. That kind of threw me for a loop.But then I just shrugged and when on.
