    US President in a kilt

    Has a US President ever been known to don a kilt?

    Cheers

    I remember reading that The Armstrong Clan presented Richard Nixon, and Niel Armstrong after the moon landing as they are both members of that clan.

    Ah, but is there a picture of Nixon in it?

    Thinking more broadly, does anybody know of any photos of ANY world leaders in a kilt?!

    Cheers

    I suppose that as and when Charles becomes king, that'd count!

    It'd be nice to think that our Scottish Prime Minister would be seen in a kilt sometimes. As for SNP leader Alex Salmond, here are his thoughts on kilts:

    I came across this humorous kilted tall tale in my search for a kilted president. I got a good laugh out of it:
