I don't paint the house or mend the aviary hut roof kilted - I have done both once and then thought that it was a bad idea.
It was not a problem getting up the ladder or onto the scaffolding, just once I was up there I was very conscious of being viewed from below.
Not that there were many people around - but just one would have been far too many.
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
