    Wilson 5-yard at Glasgow Harbour


    I went to the Model Rail show in Glasgow on Friday and Saturday wearing my latest kilts, Heritage of Scotland 8-yard polyviscose by Hamilton Products on Friday (sorry no pics) and Wilson 5-yard wool by Scotweb on Saturday.
    I went outside the exhibition hall to get a photo of the Wilson kilt against the background of Glasgow's iconic Clyde Auditorium, affectionately referred to by Glaswegians as the Armadillo.
    There was sufficient wind to lift the kilt slightly but not to cause embarrassment.

    The view from the other side of the harbour.
    Interestingly on Friday I only saw one other kiltwearer all day, yet retracing my steps on Saturday I lost count of the large number of kilt sightings, which re-inforces what others have said about the Scots only wearing their kilts for weekend events.

    Nice photos Alex. Good shot of you in front of the hall. It reminds me of the opera house in Sydney, Australia.
