    Perspective

    At a Scottish Country Dance on Saturday I asked the fellow in the set next to me what the handsome tartan was that he was wearing.

    He replied

    "A blue and gold one"

    I laughed and then he continued with "I think it is an Irish district tartan"

    As an Scottish Country dancer he needed a kilt and he picked a tartan he liked.

    It was as simple as that

    And you know what?

    I am totally OK with that. Tartan can have all sorts of meaning.

    But it can also just be beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

    Didn't someone once say that "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"



    Cheers

    Jamie

    Yes, and Rudyard Kipling wrote that "a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke."

    I'm all for any reason, for anyone, to put on and enjoy wearing a kilt!
