American tourists in Scotland

[ForresterModern]

So far what I have gathered is this.......if I wear my kilt to Scotland, albeit some may think oddly of me, overall I will be treated fine if I wear it with the respect it deserves, and yet not make a big deal out of it..... yes? no?

I am going back over in August for 6 days of glorious golfing ( the event and hopefully the weather being glorious, probably not my abilities or score) at some rather nice courses, at staying at some rather nice hotels and B&Bs, and at this point I intend on taking pants only for the flights to and from Scotland, and will be kilted, or possibly in a pair of plus fours, for the remainder of the 8 days, even on the courses. Can hardly wait.

a pair of plus fours

I gotta ask, because I keep seeing the term...what the heck are "plus fours"?

A type of knee breeches, and very nice.

I would actually prefer the plus twos, not that one could wear either, where I live, and be allowed to live.

It seems this thread has finally taken a turn for the better. I have always enjoyed plus fours and the norfolk jacket looks fab. One reason I joined this group is to be reminded there are still places with culture out there.
Thanks

There you go Mull, I am happy to oblige with a spot more culture for you.

Watch this.

So, does one wear the hose under the knee breeches, or over the knee breeches?

Now then Ted. Why is it that I think I am supposed to answer that question? I think this "old trout" will not rise to the fly-----just yet!

I'm just joking, Jock.

I really would rather knee breeches, hose in or out, would come back into fashion for dress up or casual.
