 Left Handed Question!!
How many other left handed kilt wearers are out there in XMark land?
Does being left handed pose any problems in your kilt wearing?
I am a southpaw so I am not making fun of anyone, I just sometimes think watching righ handed people do things looks very funny to me.

Aye, laddy! By birth I'm left handed, of course the stigma that attached to such a "sinister" orientation led to my parents encouraging me to be right handed. One summer I taught myself to write left handed pretty well, but then it drifted away due to lack of use. I shoot rifles and pistols left handed, but play pool right handed. I can report no problems wearing a kilt! (Except, you know, all the other guys being jealous . . . .)

Another Southpaw here. I was always curious because my wife was reading one of those "History of the Wedding" type books. In medieval times a knights wedding was memorable. The right handed soldier would wear his sword on the right side to keep the weapon away from his bride. It was worn to ward off anyone who thought of stealing the bride away. But how many right handers can draw a sword from their right side? That was the books commentary anyways.
I wore my sword on my right side for the wedding, but being left handed I would no problem drawing my weapon to ward off bride stealers.

I'm left handed and I agree with Robert about some righties looking rather funny. The best enjoyment i get is when right-handers try to use my left handed corkscrew to open wine....they look so confused at first and then have to cock up their elbows all funny.

I am left handed, the only difference it makes to my kilt wearing is where I put my sgian dubh, when wear it.
I know what you mean about "right" handed people doing things funny.

I'm left handed for writing but ambidextrous for most other things and it doesn't have any effect on my kilt wearing at all! 
Funnily enough I can't use scissors with my left hand though!

I echo McClef's sentiment, but run with scissors in my left hand.
