Anyone else experienced this?

My man and I went to a ceilidh last week, which I love because it is all about dancing and having a great time (as opposed to just sitting about talking). I had never been to one till I started dating my bf and now I love them!

It was quite a young crowd and I think its true that younger Scots are getting more and more patriotic because EVERY guy there was kilted, informally i.e. just t-shirts and boots not the full formal outfit.

Anyway I had a great time as did my SO even though I was totally dead the next day (from dancing not drinking btw!!)

But one thing that got me in retrospect - I didn't even think of it at the time - but all the girls were in jeans. It seems that tartan skirts are nowhere near as popular as kilts are.

Now I know a kilt ISNT a skirt but I just thought it was a bit weird - us girls were the ones wearing the pants! Actually its quite cool in a way as well I think!

Hope I didn't offend, just wanted to share! LeeAnne xx

Don't you think that some of us would totally agree?
You've got at least one vote!

That about sums up our household, as well. Nothing at all odd with what you experienced, LeeAnne. I like it that way myself.

Yep, everytime I'm in my kilt, my wife is in pants. She hasn't worn a skirt in a long time. I think the last time was a wedding or a funeral. I wish we coould both dress the same - my way.

LOL love that!

Didn't see that one before, but a few girls at the ceilidh had the other 'Kilt checker' T-shirt on. And they certainly carried out that duty!

Reminds me what one of my friends said after a ceilidh she attended. The following morning as her man climbed out of bed she saw on his bare butt what appeared to be a lipstick scrawl! Some kilt checkers believe in leaving their mark it seems!

You poor guys! But look on the bright side, its sexy and made me laugh so much it hurts!
