Wearing Black Watch kilt in Scotland (?)

**Rev. Christopher** · 21st October 06, 08:28 PM

Sadly, not many kilts worn in Scotland excpet maybe a few of the traditionalists in the small town pubs. A MacDonald tartan in Campbell country should be fine. It's when I wear my MacFarlane tartan in the land of the Colquhoun's {Thogail nam bo theid sinn" (to Lifting the cattle we shall go} that I get a little nervous...

Try to get over to the Isle of Skye, many kilts there and of course the Talisker Distillery for a wee dram.

Enjoy the trip......

Wear your Black Watch, it will be no problem

I echo Davids thoughts on this one. I doubt if you´ll get a coment

I am sure that your BW will be fine,perhaps the black hooded-sweatshirt would be a good combination? Have a great time,but dont expect to see many native-scots in kilts,mono.

No problem with wearing a Black Watch kilt in Scotland. Black Watch was the first kilt I ever owned, and I'm now on to my third one.

Excellent! Thanks, Tom.

LOL, I saw a guy wearing a Black Watch tartan shirt tonight at Shoney's. I suppose he just thought it was a handsome pattern. (And that it is!)

But it just goes to show that tartans are taken with a pretty relaxed attitude anymore ...

Ah, Talisker!! Nothing better! Only a dram? Maybe two or three.

What a shock to see my clan name "Colquhoun" in print. You don't see it very often. Many get a strange look on their face when I tell them my clan name. They expect to hear a Mac something or other. Then I add the family name of Kilpatrick and they smile as though that makes a difference. Oh well.

BTW, anyone out there belong to the SCA? And if so, what do you usually wear to the functions?
