How old were you when you first wore a kilt?

[MartinGrenoble]

... not having courage to get out of the car. (...) no one was in sight I jumped out of the car ...

How strange it seems now looking back to the days when it took courage to be seen in a kilt !

My father never wore a kilt, and nor did I until at college in London, at 19, I was invited to join a country dance demonstration team, and someone lent me a kilt for the occasion.
My parents had one made for me one some months later (£19, sporran included -- long time ago!)
That kilt, a Gordon, was worn one or twice a week for the next 20 years, when I was given a second one to replace it -- I chose a Ross to have a change of colours.
In 1999, I began wearing one out and about, and then made myself a plain lightweight one, but was still trousered to work.
In 2002,I foreswore the other garment and have lived unencumbered ever since.
