Yer dead right, many are taken by surprise at just how warm they are. It's the forest and the tree thing.

I get a few of the Kiltie kiltie coldbum comments from the locals every now and then and just laugh at them. I am more amazed at the number of women who actually take the time to ask " Are ye no cauld in that kilt " I usually tell them "ah hiv a hot water bottle stuffed doon ma knickers " and it sets them into hysterics.

Wummin eh!! funny creatures so they are, mind you, they all seem to hiv one thing in common. No matter how hot the hoose is they wrap themselves up in blankets and then stick their cold feet on yer back when ye get intae bed.

Enuff tae shrivel any man's caber.
