Do I wear a kilt in Dorset?

[Mel1721L]

I live just next door in Poole, and there are a few visitors who wear kilts. This weekend I went to the folk festival in Swanage - not far off - and there were several dancers and musicians in kilts, which caused no reaction at all.

If there are areas in which you'd not want to be wearing a kilt, then they would not really be areas many would want to be found in no matter what their clothing - your family should be able to advise.

I used to be Iin Dorset Ambulance, but I was based at Sherborne and tried to avoid Poole and Bournemouth not always very successfuly though, but I don't remember the bad areas. I left the service 10 years ago.

Hello Mel,

I can't speak for travels to the UK, but I can tell you that your family will accept you regardless of kilted or not. That's the beauty of family; they know what kind of self confident "nutters" we are.

I say,wear what you want sir. Life is too short to worry about what anyone else thinks.

Thanks for your input on my vacation to Florida, the casuals from USA Kilts worked perfect.

I guess at nearly 60, I shouldn't be too bothered. I'm glad the casuals worked, not sure what the UK weather will be like, but cold and wet as usual I suppose.
