kilts, horseback riding and genetic memory

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I seem to recall an army uniform, c.1930, complete with a pair of tartan riding breeches hanging in a wardrobe at my aunt's home. These were't trews, but pukka breeches with leather at the knees. Any how, as unusual as they might appear, I doubt they'd get as many stares as a kilt. Especially if you were thrown from your horse!

Well, in that case, I doubt they'd be staring at the kilt.

Regards,

That made me laugh!

I have a picture of a Canadian officer in the First World War wearing riding breeches in the Government Sett.
