Inverness, anyone?

Fort George may well be worth a look, the pictures I've looked at seem interesting.
The House of Bruar's tartan jackets have impressed me, however, it's ashame they don't have any available for men!

I've heard that Inverness is currently replicating what we had down here a few weeks ago, but hopefully it will clear up a bit and hopefully it wont drop below anything I can't handle in a kilt! I'll be taking 2 or 3 heavyweight kilts with me and will more than likely have 4 or 5 layers on, also.

We mainly want to explore the history of the area - castles and if there are any monuments. We'll be sure to pass the Cameron Highlander's memorial and several others when going around the town centre.
Also, are there any pubs with kilted regulars (or at least kilt friendly) for a quick pint around the centre?

I am not a local local, so I know little about "watering holes", but there seem to be plenty about.As to kilted regulars, are there really any in Scotland? I was wearing the kilt in minus 18C the other day before I left for the South and we had 29 consecutive days where the temperature failed to reach above freezing.I hasten to add that I did not wear the kilt every day!Now if you want to know where to buy fishing tackle, or bullets in Inverness then I can help. Chisholms Kilt makers are in Castle Street behind the castle----- a shop that I would recommend a look at.

When I was in Dumfries I was rather surprised by seeing a couple (other than the Xmarkers) each day. Pitlochry has a fair number aswell, especially older gents.
I think I'll ditch the trousers for the weekend but I may well double-up on thick kilt hose pulled up and hope that they'll compensate for the rest of my legs!
