I know there are those that say; "the kilt is only a piece of clothing", or,"its my kilt and I will wear it how I like",or "What has it got to do with you?" No doubt there are also umpteen other perfectly valid replies to justify how and why they are wearing the kilt so badly and of course they are right,.............from their point of view.

BUT they forget one thing! They just look damn stupid and, for what it is worth , that is my opinion.

Edinburghkiltie, I am not getting at you sir. You are only showing us what you see.
Sorry, Jock, but I think the young men in the photographs looked fine in their kilts, and they certainly don't look stupid! The posted photos show young men looking quite comfortable wearing kilts, and I did not see anything that I thought degraded the kilt. What I saw was another generation of men taking the kilt as part of their chosen lifestyle. They are young, and their lifestyle is very different from ours, much as mine was very different from my father's and my fathers was very different from his father's... Better that young men wear kilts in a manner that works in their style of living than that they not wear them at all.
