I tried on a handmade kilt at the shop in Salt Lake and the scot blood got the better of me

I wish I had stopped at one or two casual kilts and than saved up for a traditional.
Hear, hear, Colin!
My definition of being frgual, which came from my Scots grandmother, was that you may only own one of something, but it's the best you can buy so you won't have to buy another one! :mrgreen:
