UK in the UK

but then, I avoid punks

No need to avoid punks I guess...

They look scary, but I experienced they see kiltwearers as "cool guys".

On several occasions those Mad Max types made compliments...makes sense...punks and kiltwearers are both out of line

I love the image of the lil' one in his new kilt! Well worth the 2 pounds

Great pics; you must have been agile to get atop the triangulation post on the hill near Caerphilly. In the London photo the kilt looks a darker shade of tan but maybe its the same kilt, and just the light playing tricks.

No tricks- one is tan, the other is olive.

I can't wait to get home so I can bring my wool kilts over. I've been wearing out the UKs.

I'm surprised that you have so many negative comments about kilt wearing in london
I usually visit once a week or so, and almost always in a kilt, and have received many comments, as expected ,but no actual negative ones, often cheeky and provocative, but I just smile!

If you would like someone to go visiting some of hte sights, I would be more than happy to meet up.
But please don;t let any of the comments get to you, those people jsut don't know any better

To be fair, I haven't heard any negative comments in London- all of them have been in Reading and the surrounding areas.

As for meeting up, that would be fantastic. I'm flying solo for a few weeks as my family is in the states getting packed up. Perhaps we could arrange a mini-meeting of xmarkers somewhere in friendly territory?

As an interesting note, I have only had one positive comment in Reading, from someone who told me he had a Black Survival UK- but the comment was a bit blunted by his further comment that I had a lot of guts wearing it around here as he gets a lot of flack.

In Wales, however, I got quite a few nice comments.

My wife takes amazing pictures.

And when I am shot from a distance, I don't mess them up!

I think it goes both ways on the Scots v English. While in Germany for WC, I saw heaps of Scots either showing support for the US (while wearing their Scottish gear) or wearing negative, yet humorous shirts (like the two gents that had kilts and Trinidad Tobago kits on and on the back it said Scotland while England and T and T were playing that day). But most seemed to be in good fun.
