    Kilted in Harrogate

    Whilst ambling through Harrogate (UK)last week, I spotted a kilted gent accompanied by his good lady. Not sure of the tartan, but he wore cream hose, ghillies & T-shirt. Just wondered if it was an X-marker? Was good to see. There were occasional raised eyebrows, but he seemed supremely content!

    One thing about wearing a kilt,...it definitely gives one an air of confidence.

    Well, I've never been to Harrogate, so it wasn't me

    Well I attended 1st and 2nd grade in Harrogate, but that was 1961-1963. Revisited there in 2005. Your post brings back good memories.

    I was once kilted in Harrogate but that was back in the 70's so it wasn't me!

    I have never been kilted in Harrogate and have not been there since the early 1960s so - sorry, it was not me!

    Take care,
