I have taken all your good advice and I am putting it into daily action by wearing my kilt around the near vicinity of our house. So far so good, no one seems to care a damn, although there have not been many who have seen me. I nearly picked up the courage to walk to the local shops to get some beer yesterday but have to admit I changed into my jeans to do it. In a way it might have been for the best as there were about 15 teenagers just hanging around outside the shops ... most of them, including the girls, drinking cans of stella. I'm sure there would not have been anything physical but I wondered if or what they might have yelled at me if I had been in my kilt. Anyhow, with regard to me and my kilt, I'm sticking with it until my confidence builds up until I can wear it to the local shops etc without giving it a second thought.I have uploaded a couple of pics of the wife and me in my personal gallery. Thanks again guys for your support. Derek.
