A warm Scottish welcome from middle England.

Hey everyone!

I am English, and hope that doesn't ruffle any Scottish feathers!

I'll tell you what. I'll forgive you for being English if you forgive me for being Canadian. How's that?

Hey!

Wow, some seriously quick greetings here from you guys! That is very nice to see, and sure does make one feel part of the gang so to speak!

I see that there are a lot of people living all over the globe on here, and its pretty cool to see that the appreciation of this uniquely cool garment is wider reaching than the British Isles! I wonder what what you get asked by intrigued passer-bys, when dressed in a kilt in say Australia!!

I once got asked by some Asian Tourists by London bridge if I was Scottish. I just said no, am wearing it because I think it looks cool. I was then asked to pose for a bunch of photos with them, with my gf taking the pics! When someone does something out of the ordinary, obviously in a positive - perhaps in some peoples minds, eccentric way, then it can serve as a rather unique ice-breaker and its great to discuss others views and get their perspective on it. Most often, this is a positive dialogue. Very rarely I find people overtly negative or condescending.

Perhaps this indicates a general acceptance of such things, with the majority of folks happy to see such things. But - too shy to do likewise.

I can't speak for Australia, but here in NE Ohio we have a very strong Irish community and most people only see kilts and bagpipes at Irish/Celtic fests and on St Paddies day ... so I figure about half of the people who see me dressed in kilt refer to me as Irish.


I get asked 'Why' quite a bit with my standard response of being 'I hate trousers.'

On the other hand, I was piping at a 4th of July event and when I paused for a break a woman from India came over and I could over-hear her telling her children: "The colors on that thing he is wearing -- those show what tribe he is from."

I just nodded instead of trying to explain universal tartans ;)

Welcome from me too, I'm in Kingston , just on the edge of London and go into there once every couple of weeks, so perahps we can even meet for a coffee, or perhaps a photocall to give some tourists a real treat!!

Welcome from Southern California! I lived in London for a while back 'round 2002... lived in Tulse Hill, just next to Brixton, and worked up in Bayswater. I loved my time there, London is one heck of a town.
