Wearing a kilt but not being Scottish

[meinfs]

To my knowledege, none of the regiments of the Indian and Pakistani army wear kilts -- both maintain pipers, and have adopted tartan, such as the 3rd Battalion of the Sikh Regiment, which wears the Rattray tartan, and the Gurkhas, who have adopted the Douglas tartan.

Cajunscot and Gilmore, thanks. Yes, I bet that the colonial connection would make kilt-wearing visible in south asia.

You can see the photo from that event in my personal album here.

Pardon, Galician but where can I find your photo album.

You missed the point of my message; while the post-Independence armies of India and Pakistan (not forgetting Nepal's Gurkhas, who serve the British, Indians, Singapore and the Sultan of Brunei) have adopted the pipes and some aspects of Highland regimental kit, the kilt is not one of them.

Meinfs, go to my profile and it's available on the right hand column.

Yes, I did miss your main point. Let me add mine: I would still say (opine without photo evidence) that the kilt is still visible in India precisely because of the piper bands and the british highland regiments that are stationed there. If not the locals wearing them, the military non-locals would. There are none of those things in the country where I'm from.

I have tried that and I cannot find the "album" section. (??)

As far as I'm concerned, the more men wearing kilts in the world the better. Please wear the kilt and wear it proudly.

I go to social events now (not that long) kilted and I try to influence my guy friends to consider kilt-wearing!

Is it wrong for a person who doesn't ride a bicycle to wear bicycle shorts?

Wearing bicycle shorts is just wrong. Period. ;)

I don't have any pictures I can post, but I have a grandson, whose mother is Korean. . . . and he looks it! He also is learning to play the pipes, need I say more?
