From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Styles of kilt wear
Today most Scotsmen see the kilt as formal dress or ceremonial dress. For Scotsmen, the kilt is usually worn with a Prince Albert or an Argyll jacket. Irishmen on the other hand commonly wear the Brian Boru or the Kilkenny jacket with the kilt. They are often worn at weddings or other formal occasions, while there are still a few people who wear them daily. The kilt is also used for parades by groups such as the Scouts, and in many places the kilt is seen in force at Highland games and pipe band championships as well as being worn at Scottish country dances and ceilidhs.
A Prince Albert???????????? Give me break. Just thought you might be as amused by it as I was. I swear, I didn't make that up. You can check the site for yourself. Slainte.
A Prince Albert? That would be painful!
