Now that we are back on thread again,here is my slant on visitors(a much more pleasant word than tourist,I think and I must use it more often).Anyway,when I see a kilt being worn in the Highlands,thats my home,I am delighted and I care not one jot which part of the world the wearer comes from.If the kilt is worn correctly,they are not always,I am even more delighted.

When I wear the kilt,I don't think about comfort,am I going to be asked the question,am I going to get comments,am I going to be the centre of attention,am I going to be ridiculed? No I D*** well don't!I wear it-----well----because I always have.

I don't know anything about modern non-wool,non tartan kilts and that is no reflection or critiscism of anyone,just ignorance on my part, if you like,but in truth I have had no need to know anything about them.

Where I do raise a quiet eyebrow,and I think I can speak for many other Scots too,is the wearing of differant tartans(not the same clan).I really cannot get my head around that.However, each to their own and I for one will quietly enjoy seeing a well worn kilt "swishing" its way around the Highlands without saying a word; as is the Highland way.
