How Alec started to wear the kilt
Forget our Roll of Honour, one very esteemed member has reached the pinnacle of kilt success, the apex of a life of kilt evangelising, the very summit of what every kilted person should aspire to, the Olympic gold in kilting, the Grand Slam of highland dress, the mastery of unfurbicated garments, the oscar for sartorial elegance, the ultimate praise and recognition from his fellow countrymen
What is it?
Read Scotland's own Sunday Post, its middle pages has a photo of our Alec and the story of why he started to wear the kilt,
I haven't got the story with me but I'm sure Alec if he is not too modest will fill in fellow X-Markers to the contents of this article.
Alec, congratulations on such a story, I'm sure you are the envy of all members after the Sunday Post printed your story.
All Scots and most members will be aware of the importance of such a distinguished newspaper as the Sunday Post to our country and to have featured in it with such a story is tremendous, wish it was me Alec

Xmarks member BeechBrae kindly forwarded a copy of the article to me, for which many thanks.
There are a few inaccuracies as a result of journalistic licence but all in all the article is positive.
