Kilted in Scotland Pictorial

[Jock Scot]

Great pictures and I am very glad that you all enjoyed yourselves.Please don't be offended,but a very quiet whisper in your ear may help others visiting Scotland in the future.In Scotland,UK too,suspenders keep up women's stockings--what you call suspenders we call them braces or bracers.Secondly, if you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb then leave the flat cap(I think they are called driving caps in the US) behind when wearing the kilt in Scotland.OK, I have stuck my head above the parapet and you can shoot it off if you so desire,but I am hoping that no offense has been taken.

No offense taken on either account. I actually had a couple shop keepers compliment me on the use of the "braces" with my kilt as a good idea for guys of girth like myself (real shops like Hector Russell, not the tat shops).

As you can see from the pics where I am without a hat I am---well lets just say--rather "thin" on top and my head sems to get constantly sunburned when I am out and about seeing sights on vacations. Normally I would wear a simple ballcap but didn't see a single one my whole time in Scotland (other than on american tourists and in the tat shops) so I thought the country caps in matching tartan were more appropriate and functional (except in the windy highlands). They also look good back here in the states with my sweaters and winter coats. I have always been a hat person anyway. Thanks for the comments.

auch, it doesn't matter if your getting thin on top, just a wee rub of suntan cream on your napper will help a lot
