UK: Kiltie is banned ...........

If the roudy kilties wanted to, even if they were wearing something under, they could take them off in two seconds and cause their trouble!

Also those that are respectable could "put them on" to gain entry, and then remove them once inside, or were they going to be constantly harrassed all night with "checks"?

I think kilt checks all night would open up a cause for litigation, I know if someone wanted to do repeated kilt checks on me I would talk to my solicitor, even if a doorman wanted to do one kilt check I might seek legal council.

That's the point I was making!

This is just plain wrong. Would they have banned a girl in a "billie" for the same reason

I agree with what some others have said. Do they apply the same policy to women not wearing anything under their skirts? And how do they know? If you ask, or check, the well dressed gent in a kilt, you have to do the same for the ladies or it's blatant discrimination.
I don't know about where they are, but around here it's easy to find a lawyer willing to take a case like that. Lot's of publicity, a quick payoff from the club and he goes home happy.

I think we should all remember that this is a private business. They can pick and choose who it is they want to serve. While I may find the rule silly, it is their place so they can choose (just like a trendy nightclub might pick and choose who to let in).

What our friend Hamish has done for us is to let us know not to visit the establishment for any reason due to this policy.

It would seem that every man wearing a kilt would have to be asked if he was wearing underwear before being allowed to enter. If that is the case, then women wearing skirts or dresses would have to be asked the same question to avoid discrimination.

A very unfortunate situation.
