Quote - I was at the wedding of a good friend at the weekend in Abu Dhabi. As the friend was Scottish it was decided by three of the wedding party that we would wear our traditional Scottish attire, the Kilt. The ceremony was in St Andrews church follwed by the reception at my friends home.
Later we decided to go to our local bar in the Al Ain Palace hotel. To our shock and horror the three Gentlemen in Kilts were refused entry. Not because we had to much to drink or were being abusive but because we were wearing Kilts. We tried to explain to the duty manager that this was our traditional dress but he would not allow us in.
So alas the wedding party went ahead without the men in "skirts" 1 gentleman decided to go home whilst my friend and I went to the nightclub in the Novatel where we were welcomed with open arms. This is the first time I have heard or experienced a Scotsman being refused entry to a bar because he was wearing a kilt. - Unquote
