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

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!

Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.
