If I ever got my hands on that one he would never see it again, inless of course he found me wearing my kilt.

Ok, I have not heard about Queen Victoria and the young Scotsman in the regiment, sorry I wasn't in your crowd. What is that story?
BTW, being a former teacher myself, I really am enjoying your subbing stories.
DALE.
You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

The Kilt pin story in a nutshell:
Queen Victoria supposedly visited Balmoral Castle and reviewed the Gordon Highlanders. A strong wind was blowing and one young soldier, at attention, was in danger of being exposed as his kilt blew in the strong wind. The Queen noticed the solider's kilt flapping in the wind and how embarrassed he was. She walked over to him and removed a pin from her own clothing and pinned the overlap of his kilt. From then on it has been the tradition that when wearing Highland garb one wears a pin on the lower right of the apron.
