    I've been wearing a kilt to the General Protestant service at our military post chapel since January. Not every week, but about twice a month. First few times I received some nice comments, but now it's just accepted. I generally wear an Argyll jacket and tie, so I'm more dressed up than a lot of the men attending.

    The Chaplain is OK with it so I don't worry about it.
    Most of the soldiers here are 20 to 40 years old and I'm 60 so there may be some deference to age, too.

    I bought a Clan Hay flag recently, so that I could carry it in the parade of tartans at some games I've attended, or at a Kirkin o' the Tartan service if there is no other Clan Hay representative.

    You're probably just the senile old geezer in the kilt to most of them.

    You're probably right!! When the Sergeant's Major are not much older than my oldest child, it does make one feel "Ancient" LOL
