    I say do your part to be modest...but if they are fortunate to get a glimpse of the under-carriage, they can consider themselves lucky

    Stairs on Buses

    I was interested to read this discussion. I believe there used to be a law in Scotland which prohibited men in kilts from going upstairs on a bus, presumably to prevent those below from seeing what should not be seen! I would be OK, since I always wear something under my kilt, although maybe I would be more embarrassed than the viewers since my underwear would be on display.

    Haven't come across this one as a law in Scotland but I've read that it was one of the rules on Glasgow Corporation's buses and trams.

    I think a person would have to make quite an effort to see anything other than darkness under a kilt.

    If I caught someone trying that hard to see up my kilt, I'd ask them, "So, does that mean we're engaged?"

    Hey!!!!! You just keep away from my harem now. A man's got to have the right accessory to compliment each kilt after all. :rolleyes:

    Now that you mention it!


    Did You Know?

    During the 1950s and 1960s, Edinburgh Corporation Transport would not allow a kilt-wearing gentleman upstairs on their trams, in fear of frightening the downstairs passengers.
