    Everyone mark your calendar. August 21st is William Wallace Day. As if anyone in this forum needed another excuse to wear their kilt.

    SOOO wrong.

    Sorry guys, I just have a really rough time separating William Wallace and that movie from the 90s. You Scots are lucky you don't have to deal with it (at least, I hope not).

    I'll probably be kilted for a good part of the day...the 21st is a Saturday .

    I'll celebrate on Sunday, 8/22 with a toast to William Wallace at the British Pub that evening. Monday, 8/23 I'll wear the kilt at both of the jobs, I'll be working. I'll make up cards of the above plaque to give out to people who ask that day, "Why are you wearing the kilt?"

    Ask.com responded to the question, "Does Scotland celebrate, William Wallace Day?" with the answer "24/7."
    Do the same.
