    If the Scots get upset at us wearing kilts, should the French get mad at us for wearing pants?

    Ive never known a Scot that was offended by anyone wearing the kilt, in fact most non-scots rock bands know that when they play a gig in Scotland, appering onstage in the kilt is guaranteed to bring the house down. Axl Rose, Mick Hucknell, Westlife, all have worn the Kilt at gigs in Scotland and have recieved a rapturous welcome.

    I got to say I wish I was a rock star that way I'd have more money for lots of kilts !
    Unfortunately though not all scots feel the same way about the wearing of the kilt like we do.
    One comment I over heard as the guy told his daughter "A wee bit girly for your brother I think" I know he was refering to the kilt and it was said just loud enough so I could hear.I wouldn't mind though but on his sweatshirt it said 'dare to be different'.And yes he was a scot.
    Don't know about wannabe but I wish I had their accent.
