I am only marginally Scottish but have now found that being the only one to wear the kilt round this town on a semi regular basis, and not being one of the townies to engage in Scottish Country Dancing, I am looked upon as fringe by the nicest people and just this side of a cross dresser by the others. Rather frustrating as I just had a wonderful Cameron Hunting Weathered 16-17oz kilt made in February. Now that September is here and weather will soon get cooler, the tourists will flee and I may resume my early morning dog walking while kilted. I LOVE wearing my kilts. For a while all my neighbours just kind of ignored the fact, which was great. Then in the last year they have all begun asking rather pointed questions about my attire. The questions end up making me feel a bit of a standout and somewhat uncomfortable. One ex NHL hockey player who lives down the street actually said at a neighbour's gathering, "What's the deal with the kilt!?" Simple enough question when read in hindsight, but at the time he uttered those words it was difficult to side step the implication of something unsavoury in his tone. I think we should have a Niagara-on-the-Lake kilt walk this Autumn. Any takers?? I am now way off topic....
