Every couple of years, the Glasweegian scouts visit my home town to see the sites. They all dress formally in kilts, but usually carry them to be worn only on special occasions. Back home for their weekly meetings, some actually carry them to their meetings in paper bags so their friends don't make fun of them wearing the kilts.

This past visit, I greeted them in the afternoon wearing my cotton/poly tan Sport Kilt. They all thought it was grand. I went home and dressed in a more formal kilt for dinner that evening, but they didn't. In past years, they did dress in kilts to see the sites of Niagara Falls and had a lot of positive comments and photo ops.

Yes, I have a Scottish heritage (Bramaer to Inverness, Argyllshire), and I began wearing the kilt as a dancer, but now, I wear it because it's the most comfortable garment to wear. My "boys" swing free the way they were meant to swing, and the breezes on my cheeks are the most wonderful.
