"To pants, or not to pants: that is the question"

Some interesting thoughts from a fairly wide sampling of well(?) known Scots on 'The Big Question'

"The Radio Scotland host, 47, said: "They should be true Scotsmen as long as they don't get drunk and start mooning at old aunties."

...well, that's that then, eh?

I find it funny that several commenters mentioned refreshing cool breezes but nobody on either side of the fence mentioned ice cold winter winds.

This article is just perpetuating the NTS fallacy. I'm surprised so many 'uncovered' their habit so readily. And shouldn't Camilla know better than to ask?

if its yer own kilt then its drawless all the way............ but if its hired then a bit of care should be taken to wear something as not every kilt is cleaned after each hire

i had a lassie in belfast last week that was giving me a lift to a wedding party bring that commando issue up ......worried about me flashing her in the highwinds that we had on the way to the car ..............i had to make a point that with the weight of my kilt compared to her mini dress it'll be her flashing me that she should be more worried about

Excellent rebuttal to her concern. I'm a newbie to all this but even if the kilt material was as light as her skirt wouldn't the sporran hold things down....at least in the front.

Oh no here we go again. We really don't need to know what's worn under (if anything)

I would personally agree, but I found it interesting that, even in Scotland, where the garment has it's roots, that they suffer the same 'question' we 'outlanders' do.

It's not the content of the article but the pics and the head that capture the "reader", surely. Does anyone bother with the rubbish between the two?
