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
