That's quite a lot of kilts on one trip! Thanks Alex.

Certainly far more than I saw on my last visit!
Total then : one piper, one hotel doorman (not counting the shop dummies, of course).

Thanks Alex! It's nice to see kilts in their home land.
I like the breeze between my knees

When I - 13 years ago - was in Scotland I saw two men in kilts, a piper in Edinburgh and a guide at a destillery in Pittlochry.
An amazing progress, it seems.

Can't get my head around normal ankle socks and a kilt. Must be the traditionalist in me struggling to get out. Either that or my school rugby coach smacking me round the head everytime my socks slipped down... I used to use elastoplast in the Army to keep my rugby socks up. Mind you, we all did. Same sort of regime and mindset I suppose. Haven't got the same problem with wearing a denim jacket with a kilt though. Odd that!

John, I so agree with you. Normal, short 't-----r' socks worn with the kilt just make me cringe. Kilt hose worn scrunched (or rolled) down are a different matter altogether and are perfectly acceptable when worn with boots, but not shoes. It's all down to what I call Visual Balance really ..... for those who do not know me, I'll explain that in detail later.
Take care,
Ham.
