X Marks the Scot - An on-line community of kilt wearers.
-
I've taught First Aid and CPR as a Red Cross volunteer for years, kilted. I received not a single complaint. We all recieved a memo a year or so ago about dressing professionally and appropriately, but I was still allowed to wear the kilt while instructing.
My current employer requires that I wear a uniform while on duty, but allows me to wear a kilt during company functions when I'm not on the payroll. I've gotten some interesting questions from co-workers and a few negative reactions (initially, but not lately), but my boss and his boss have seen me kilted and haven't said anything about it.
On my screensaver at work I show the full range of styles and the history of kilts with photos from war years, formal and informal kilt photos, photos of guys working in the modern kilt variations, fictional depictions from movies and television (Braveheart, Highlander, Monarch of the Glenn, James Bond, etc.) to put my kilt-wearing in context. I think that's helped people who were otherwise confused to make sense of the kilt thing.
