Who's Kilting up July 1st?

So who is going to wear their kilt for no other reason?

On 1 July 1782 Royal assent was given to Repeal of the Act Prescribing the Wearing of Highland Dress 22 George III, Cap. 63, 1782 and a proclamation issued in Gaelic and English announced:

Listen Men. This is bringing before all the Sons of the Gael, the King and Parliament of Britain have forever abolished the act against the Highland Dress; which came down to the Clans from the beginning of the world to the year 1746. This must bring great joy to every Highland Heart. You are no longer bound down to the unmanly dress of the Lowlander. This is declaring to every Man, young and old, simple and gentle, that they may after this put on and wear the Truis, the Little Kilt, the Coat, and the Striped Hose, as also the Belted Plaid, without fear of the Law of the Realm or the spite of the enemies.

I'll be wearing my Maple Leaf tartan to celebrate Canada Day.

I will be kilted in Trafalgar Square in London, with Alex and possibly more to celebrate Canada Day.

Bring on the poutine.

Regards

Chas

My Maple Leaf tartan kilt is being altered and it won't be done in time

I won't be kilted at work; but should I go out Friday evening for dinner or a movie I'll certainly kilt up to honor the day.

And if not. . .Well, it's a 3-day holiday weekend in the US to honor Freedom of another sort, and I'll most certainly be kilted Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Actually I am kilted today and at work. But this sounds like a great reason to go kilted tomorrow.
