kilts in Edinburgh

[Nervous Jock]

That depends on how you view the word I suppose. It's certainly sad and regrettable.

The arguments I was referring to were with people who were of the opinion that seeing two or three kilts being worn on the streets of Edinburgh on a weekday was somehow a rating of success. Sure you can see loads of kilts - in shop windows, but that does not transcribe the way seeing jeans or suits in a shop window does as you will see loads of those on the streets.

As a percentage therefore it shows a that there is major room for improvement.

I think people should just wear what they want to wear. I genuinely believe the vast majority of folk in Edinburgh see wearing the Kilt as something for a special occassion not everyday particularly as general acceptance of non tartan kilts is some way off. For example looking at the Utility kilts described on this forum I can't think of ever seeing one of these worn in Scotland. Certainly at Rugby internationals, when you would think this is the ideal opportunity to wear something like this.

While I wear a kilt regularly I would never consider wearing it to work unless it was a specific event where it had been requested.


As such I'm not sure the term "Room for improvement" applies here.
