    Kilted Doorman at Missoni Hotel Edinburgh

    I noticed this article about the kilted doorman at this hotel in the centre of Edinburgh from yesterday's Sunday Post

    I have never visited the hotel and never heard of it but apparently its quite a chic and stylish hotel to visit with a sort of Picasso like decor.

    So we have this suave, good looking guy in a kilt greeting all residents and he says that he just loves the job, but look at his kilt, I'm sure it will turn the heads of our more extroverted members, it designed to go along with the wallpaper, curtains and general decor of the hotel, the kilt certainly looks good on him.

    Don't have a website but if you google 'allow the kilted doorman at the Hotel Missoni' up will come a few pages and video of said doorman, worth watching, it's the job I would like to do, I may apply for it, although probably not look as good as him

    I pass that way regularly and the kilt does look very smart as well as visually striking!

    Should a kilt make you feel like you are seasick?

    Just checking...

    Try as I might and I am trying very hard to be positive! I realise that the hotel is trying to be up to date and by the look of it, with the actual building and facilities they have succeeded in that very well, but what a shame those kilts and shoes have taken that modern theme one step too far and spoils the whole effect for me. Apart from that, the doorman needs a hair cut!
