Royal Regiment of Scotland

[Jock Scot]

Welcome to the world of a history teacher, Jock.

Of course, many of us in the field have a belief that if we can reach just one student, then we've done our jobs...I deal with myths about history on a daily basis. I may not change some of my student's minds -- all I can do is present with them the facts, and provide the most accurate and objective account of the subject at hand -- and I've done my job. What they do with them is their business, I suppose. You can lead a person to knowledge -- but you can't make them think! :mrgreen:

I really don't think I have the skill, or the patience to be a teacher!

Believe me, there are some days I share that sentiment, Jock.

Well I do not have any objection to a 5 yard 16 oz wool kilt, set/stripe, knife pleat affair. (personally I do not like look of Box pleats IMO)

I have 2 X 5 yard kilts and a heavy 8 yarder for formal occasions.

I would never dream of wearing a heavy 8 yard for wandering around the Machair. I know many who regard a 5 yard as being acceptable as a kilt in the right circumstances.

I regard it like wearing shorts. Shorts are Ok for the beach walking etc. But not suitable for a formal occasion.
