Kilted For All Eternity
Sadly, many young men have died kilted in battle. And I'm sure many men have keeled over dead from heart attack or stroke while kilted.
My question for our esteemed historians is - have many men been buried kilted?
While on one hand kilts may be much too valuable to bury, or the family may want the kilt as a rememberence, I can see where a man might specify in his will that he be buried kilted. Or, the family may wish a man buried kilted if that's how he lived and that's how they want him to enter the next life (however they may perceive that).
What does history, or personal experience, tell us?
Do you wish to be buried in a kilt? Which one? What do you want in your sporran for the long journey to the great unknown?
