Nighthawk, you are so correct. I would only wear my kilt to "special" events and things of that sort but I turned 45 last week and decided to wear it a lot more. Where I am, you don't see that many people in a kilt and I usually hear "where are you going"? and I tell them "no where, I just wear a kilt". That has changed! Now when I leave the house (except for work) 90% of the time, I'm in a kilt and don't plan on changing that!
Kilted Hiker: I wish you the best and hope 1. you do it or 2. they let you do it. As far as your girlfriend, she needs to be educated about what our herritage means to you. I was able to convince my son's fiance and when they get married (in a couple of years) the whole wedding party is kilted. Good luck, Lad!!
