    I think it's wonderful that this change, this revolution, this "revolving of the times" is taking place. Not only am I glad because I am a kiltie as well, but because I am increasingly concerned about our deracinated lives. We've accomplished so much over the last couple hundred years with the industrial revolution, but it's come at such a high cost. I'd like to think we're "reconnecting" with our history and our heritage more and more. (In this case, I'm obviously focused on kilts, but I think it goes further than that.)

    Up the revolution!

    I have always said that one cannot be shy and wear the kilt.
