Welcome back Richard, I'm glad the move went well. I've been looking forward to your report on the kilt in Scotland.
It's strange that the kilt should be seen as unusual there, but that's the way it is.
In the weeks I was there I didn't get any hostile looks or remarks, they just figured I was a tourist, which was true.

Well done! for wearing the kilt there, it's good to be know right from the start as a kilted man. The English stopped the wearing of tartan in Scotland, so it might be up to us to get it going again. It will be our 'penance'.

I look forward to further reports, when you can.
