[QUOTE=McClef;396655]I wonder if he even has one, never seen a picture of him wearing one in any situation. He didn't wear one at his wedding.

In fact to cast the net a bit wider, the numbers of photographs of kilted Scottish politicians is somewhat limited.

There was an MP (now deceased), named Nicholas Fairbairn, who did wear a kilt frequently, but he seems to be somewhat of an exception.[/QU

Mind you after the then First Minister, Jack McConnell's disastrous soujourn in a kilt at last year's Tartan Day in New York, perhaps its better we do not see our politicians kilted, although our new First Minister Alex Salmond has frequently worn a kilt and it suits him

Your point about Scottish policemen in kilts is interesting, I would be very interested to find out if there ever was an occasion when policemen in Scotland wore their kilts on duty although we know that a great deal of Scots policemen have their own kilts and of course police pipe bands are commonplace.

Of course I think it would be difficult to take kilted police on duty seriously especially on a Saturday night in Sauchiehall Street. I find that I cannot take police cyclists with their luducrious lycra shorts seriously, I think if they were arresting me I would go into fits of laughter
