A fine looking couple too, but I wondered how "proper" it is for women to wear a sporran.
With the recent discussion about what to wear, does anyone have an opinion on this?

Personally, (and you know I always have an opinion ) I'm not sure if I like it at all.

What do you think?
I don't like it at all Graham - but I cannot say exactly why. After all, a gal needs somewhere to keep her bits and pieces just as much as a guy does. Nevertheless, it just does not look right.

Of course, the gals should not be wearing kilts anyway - they have kilted skirts - and still have their handbags, etc. which we can hardly emulate!!

I have read that the only time lasses should wear kilts and sporrans is when they might be part of a pipe band, but I still find that somewhat objectionable. It is crossdressing, plain and simple!
Why do female pipers have to be dressed EXACTLY the same as their male counterparts? Women in symphony orchestras do not wear Dinner Jackets and black ties like the men, they wear black, feminine dresses (or whatever). I see no reason why female pipers should not wear kilted skirts and jackets perhaps similar to the men's, but leaving out the sporrans and some of the other more masculine accessories.

Just my opinion (and I have 'gone on' again - sorry!)
