1 July 1782

1 July 1782 was the date on which the infamous Act Proscribing the Wearing of Highland Dress was repealed. I invite all XMarks people to raise their glasses in just over a week to celebrate the unlamented passing of that Act, which, ironically, in its demise paved the way for the widespread wearing of the kilt that we enjoy today.

Daibhidh, thank you for the reminder. I will be landing in Glaschu and driving up to Clackmannanshire, that very morning. Nothing better than sipping uisge beatha in sight of the Wallace Monument, unless it is for such a good reason as this.
