Yesterday in central Glasgow I met a kilted gentleman, he was about 40 and looked friendly enough so obviously I could not resist saying hello to him.
He told me he came from Helensburgh, which is approx 25 miles from Glasgow and that he likes to wear the kilt as often as possible, thats why he was wearing it.
We had a fairly long discussion about kilts, tartans etc, and I told him about this forum which he was unaware of.

One thing he commented on was what most members of this forum comment on and that is that so many men own kilts and it seems that they are kept in their wardrobes and only brought out on a few occassions. Why is it that you see so few kilt wearers as an everyday occurence in Scotland?
At times in Scotland when their national football and rugby teams are playing at home, cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh are awash with kilties, literally thousands of them, the Cowal Games in Dunoon in August seems to be a place you don't go unless kilted.

IF you talk to a young man who wears the kilt for the first time at a wedding, he and his friends rave about it, how good it feels to wear, the tremendous and delightful difference between the kilt and trousers and the promises that they will be seen more often in a kilt, somehow in does'nt happen.

I really believe that if the young people of Scotland took to wearing their national dress more often then it would become second nature to them
