Kilts in the Wind Pictures

Yeah, but Ron the wind isn't always that kind.
Remember the one I posted of the Black Watch flag ceremony in Hong Kong?

Not a pic, but a comment. Downtown Franklin is like a lot of other downtown areas -- rows of tall buildings on either side of a narrow street, making a veritible wind tunnel. Many times as I've been walking down the sidewalk to go to the coffee shop, or run drop a package in the FedEx box on the corner, etc., I've felt that the wind was brutally whipping my kilt around and feared exposure.....

....only to catch sight of my reflection in a shop window to discover that my kilt was barely moving at all!

In other words, it seems that the wind playing with the kilt usually feels much worse than it actually is.

My experiences are with heavy weight woolen kilts. I'd be much more cautious in lighter weights.
