    The Cadets at my School

    This is the cadets at my school, Queen Victoria School, Scotland. Everyone has to wear Hunting Stewart Kilts and a red Tunic.
    Not many schools in the uk have kilts as a uniform for boys, I can only think of two and the other is in England (strange)
    Never posted pictures before so I hope this one is ok and if it is, I will do more.

    That's a great looking group, TSJ... great photo. How do the cadets as a group feel about the uniforms? My children both attend a school with uniforms (not nearly as sharp as yours) and many of the kids complain constantly about it.

    A lot of the guy's at the school got into fights with other Schools because of the uniform. I guess that's why we were taught how to box.

    When you first start the school and see the uniform you want to die of shock.
    But as the months go bye, you become very proud. Everyone in the village stares at you with pride, it can cause the odd punch up with other schools.
