    For me being female it's not the kilt... it's all things Scottish that have sucked me in. Each month it gets worse and worse. I want to touch everything Scottish. It truly is a passion for me.

    Despite being female, for me it is the kilt - women's clothing as sold on the High Street is just such poor quality, unless you pay huge wodges of cash for it.

    Things like the buttons being either cracked or held on by three strands of cotton, wobbly seams or great thick ones which are necessary to hold the shape as the material is almost see through and will probably dissolve the first time it is washed.

    I love traditional garments which have stood up against the whims of fashion for centuries, which use fabrics economically in the sense of not having such extreme shapes to cut out that you are using only 60 to 70 percent of what you buy.

    Linen tunics that last for decades, cloaks and capes which keep out the worst that the English weather can manage - and kilts which are ideal for all terrain walking.

    If you don't walk with a swagger, you don't get the maximum swish from the pleats. What a waste!!
