Feeling like being kilted

[jrmiller]

Strikes me as odd that people in Scotland would consider the wearing of a kilt to be a special event. Having not been there, sort of figured kilts were much more common -- guess not.

You are not alone in thinking that.

People in Scotland more or less consider that there has to be a reason why you are kilted. It certainly is uncommon to see someone wear the kilt for every day wear, there are very few in Scotland who wear it on that basis.
Nevertheless it seems funny also to say that the kilt is a common enough sight in Scotland, it is well accepted by all sexes and age groups, it must be years since someone on the opposite side of the street sang ' Donald whaurs yer troosers' to me. (probably i miss that)
Last Saturday, i was out for dinner at a local hotel where there was a wedding reception with many, many kilted guests and throughout the summer season this is evident throughout the length and breadth of Scotland, its seldom in any Scots city not to see a kilted person at the weekend.
The problem is that so many Scots have hired kilts or bought kilts, there has to be hundreds of thousands of the indigenous Scots population who are kilt owners(particularly with the increase in the cheap kilt market) but seldom wear the kilt and when that happens, its a special event
