kilts in Spain?

[cessna152towser]

It is reported (also by the BBC) that modern-day Scots are fed up with the tartan/heather/shortbread image of their part of the United Kingdom that is presented to the world

Its sad that officials at the English BBC are so out of touch with Scottish public opinion. Most of us love the tartan heather and shortbread image and indeed as we have gone from an industrial to a service economy a great many Scots' livelihoods will depend on preserving this image. You only need to look at Pour1Malt's Hogmanay thread to see how popular kilt-wearing is becoming in Scotland. The fact that my next door neighbour has just bought himself an extra kilt and intends to be kilted more often is another small sign that kilts are gradually becoming more commonplace for everyday wear. I always see plenty of kilted men out and about in Glasgow when I visit back home, yet kilts were rarely seen on the street when I lived there twenty years ago.
Its good to hear that there were a few kilts in evidence in Andalucia too at Hogmanay.
