    That is so very cool Mike!
    You'd think that in this day and age that just about everyone has some idea what a kilt is. What a great experience! ....and I agree, it is a very handsome tartan!

    Crackin' pictures Mike.

    I tried wearing a Kilt in Turkey this summer gone. Far too hot for my weak and feeble, Northern Hemisphere constituition. I assume Bali was either not so redders or you are well acclimatised already.
