kilts in Edinburgh

[ozone]

Phil,

Glad that you have the camera at the ready now. I am sure that the opportunity will present itself for a japanese or other tourist trying and failing to pull off the local garb. Kee pat it and post the piccies when you get them. Today I met a nice Scot at the food and wine festival by the name of Martin, he's the head salesperson for Highland Park Whisky. He was wearing a nice 21st century business kilt with matching jacket. We spoke for awhile, but no free whisky bottle came my way. I'll try again tomorrow and at least get a picture. So there's a Scot who liked wearing a kilt for work.....in Aspen Colorado.

BTW, highland park 18yr is VERY nice

My daughter gave me a bottle of Highland Park for my birthday last year. A very thoughtful gift and, yes, it was very nice.

Last summer I've seen 1 casual kilt wearer (in Inverness) in Scotland.

It was a bit odd, because people seem to appreciate a guy wearing the kilt casual. People smiled, nodded their head, made compliments and an often heard remark from women..."more men should wear their kilt".


Kilted in Edinburgh

I was a target for tourists pretty often (Urquhart Castle, Royal Mile, Culloden etc.) Many tourist now have a picture of a Dutch guy in their photo album.

I expect to see more kilts next year

Monday 19th - see Geoffrey Tailor is advertising a 1/2 price sale in his windows. Apart from 2 guys busking near the castle saw no kilts whatsoever today. Didn't even have mine on as it was raining.
