    Some say elements of the film 'Braveheart' are historically accurate, or the like.
    There are no links to anything (if anything), Therefore (though I am not saying it) it is possible that MacMillan could make it up himself, but I highly doubt that.
    The article shows (though not very well) that this man made the shoes, but not that he invented them.
    Neither in the post nor in the article are there citations.
    I remain skeptical.
    More research must be done on my part for me to say otherwise.
    How can you be so skeptical? After all, it was on the internet!

    Did you you know that 77% of people are more likely to accept something as fact if it is presented as a statistic?

    I don't know much about Ghillie shoes, but the only issue I really have with wearing any low cut shoe is whether it has a rounded toe or a pointed toe. I don't like wearing low cut shoes with pointed toes. No problem with pointed cowboy boots for some reason.

    If there are Ghillie shoes with rounded toes, and I am supposed to wear them, it's not a problem. Same goes for the shoes with the buckles.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Actually, that is correct in 97.3% of all cases in the Western World.

    Just a minor point, Sassanach may be said in a way that is insulting (and often is in Scotland), but it is not an insult in itself. It literally means Saxon, and means simply "English" (Sasana = Saxony being Gaelic for England)...

    There was a final warning to keep this thread on topic, it has become abundantly clear that that is going to be impossible, therefore
