Kilts and costumes

[ccga3359]

Even before I wore kilts or even before I became interested in them, had I have seen someone dressed as 'Braveheart' or Groundskeeper Willy I would have said "Nice Costume!" Because a kilt is part of that character that this person has worked hard to represent. I would not have seen the kilt as the costume, because I am not an idiot. As for those idiots who do see a kilt as a costume, then they would also see it as such the other 364 days of the year. Why would you allow these people to dictate your life, your decisions?

No sweat. To me, having Scottish ancestors, there is a bit of symbolism there, as well. I don't see that as a reason to keep me from wearing a kilt to the bar, the grocery store, or a Halloween party, though. To each their own.

I've worn my kilt to a bar/pub on many occasion, usually after a Scottish society function. I've also worn it in stores, grocery and other wise.
