Pretty cool...The best I've ever had was nice kilt.

Sometimes i get the Braveheart comment, but most of the time they call me Rob Roy and this is a great compliment too

I have been called "the highlander" a few times

I once overheard two teenage girls talking. G1 said, "Oh, look, one of those things, like in that movie." G2 said, "A kilt. My dad has one."

A couple of weekends ago, I was walking into a bookstore, and heard a couple of middle aged ladies discussing me on their way out. L1 said, "that's the nice thing about Scotland... all the men in kilts." L2 said, "Not so much in Ireland, though."

Both exchanges made me grin.

Thats so funny. I actually sold my DVD of Braveheart on ebay last week, which I'm starting to regret...

Don't feel bad, kilts weren't even invented in William Wallace's time

Well, I have yet to hear "Braveheart", LOL. However, I have had the stares, double takes and of course, the typical "nice kilt" comments (nothing bad or disrespectful). And of course, I cannot forget the wonderful comments from my colleagues (at work and outside of work). From them I usually hear something to the effect of . . "hey, skirt boy". Although, the comments from my colleagues were mainly towards the beginning of me wearing my kilt. Now, its occasionally that I hear a comment from them. I think they're used to it now. And, I have co-workers that tell me of their experiences of seeing others kilted when they've gone out.
