    kilts elsewhere

    I also spent a few days country dancing in northern England, great fun as usual, of course. All the men in kilts, giving me the chance to see more tartans in the flesh and set me yearning to increase my collection.

    Since there were often more men than women on the floor, I also had the opportunity to dance with the other men, which is great (whatever you may think), since one gets a good firm grip for turns and a good speed for the swings.
    (For the uninitiated, let me add that Scottish country dancing is nothing like ballroom dance, neither up-close nor too personal)

    So you saw more kilts in Northern England than in Edinburgh Martin, what a sad commentary on Scotland's capital.

    I have to confess it fits in with my own experience of everyday Edinburgh attire.
