One thing that bothers me is people who wear a whole arsenal of weaponry to Highland Games. I understand the need for a knife in the sock. I don't see the need to own a claymore, much less tote it around for everyone to see. Or a "gret ganglin'" dirk, either, unless it's part of a uniform.

Something else: Balmorals that just came out of the package and are still stiff from being blocked. But we've covered that already.

One more thing: teenage boys wearing their kilts extra low, as if they were blue jeans in the current foolish-looking style. I'm glad they choose to go kilted, but somebody (Jock? Mac of Rath?) needs to pull them aside and 'splain a few things to them.
Having three sons of my own, now grown up(?), and one 14 year old step son I have learnt that it is a complete waste of effort trying to tell,sorry advise, them about anything! As to teenage step daughters --------------------!
