    Alex,
    given that we constantly hear that the box pleat, (once a very common style until the late 19th century), is reportedly little seen (or known) in Scotland today, I'm curious what kind of reaction (if any) do you get to your kilt?

    I would be surprised, amazed even, if any comment was uttered, as I doubt that anyone noticed.

    My family hails from Ayr... my Grandfather emmigrated to Canada when he was 8, all the family I have been able to trace back for the past 220 years came from the three towns

    Ancestors in Kilwinning, Saltcoats, and Stevenston...
