Out in Public

Yesterday when I was at Casa Loma,(pics here:http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=29041) I was asked if I worked there, but the really interesting thing was that I had three people yesterday comment on the sgian dubh, but not one of those people commented on the kilt, I did get other compliments though. I thought it was funny that someone would notice a sgian dubh but not notice a kilt.

A couple of days ago, three of us (myself, friend and his wife) donned our kilts for an afternoon excursion. We were quite a colourful ensemble...me in Scottish National, friend in Freedom of Scotland, and his wife in a Royal Stewart semi-mini. We dropped in at the B&Q DIY store for some stuff, and outside a friendly guy called across '...ah, reminds me of home.'
Then we went to a park to fool around with a model speedboat on the lake. It got a few spectators - none commented on the kilts, but one woman with her little boy said afterwards '...we were very impressed.' It seemed all so natural to be in kilts - and why not?
Put a smile on the world's faces.

my wife has suggested getting a few of my friends together and going someplace where kilts would be the last thing you'd expect to see... but having us all wear our kilts...I think it would be a fun way to start off a kilt night

That could be a whole new thread. Where is the last place you would expect to see a kilt?

playing the pipes to penguins in Antarctica -- done
modern combat zone -- done
White House -- done

Quick apology, sorry, I'm going to actually start a new thread on this.
