"That's not a real kilt"

[Jock Scot]

I rather think that many will agree with your friend, particularly from Scotland. In the end though it is a matter of choice, for us all.

My comments above could be read in a way to make it sound as though we Scots are rather "snooty" and I did not mean that at all-----well not much anyway!

Let me explain. Most Scots know absolutely nothing about "the modern style" of kilt,they have no idea that people outside Scotland are remotely interested in kilts, yet alone actually wanting to wear them----I did not, until finding this site-----so it is hardly surprising that anything other than the traditional kilt is what they know. Hamish and Cessnatowser are two of a very small number of people this side of the pond who know about "the modern kilt". The Scots also have no idea about the skilled kilt makers dotted around the world either, so please don't get the idea that the Scots are being too "Snooty".

Please remember that anyone who has been on this website for more than a week will know more about kilts and the kilt wearing WORLD than the "average Scot" who's kilt wearing knowledge stretches from one wedding to the next! Not only that ,but once the kilt is safely put away in the wardrobe, that is the last they think about kilts until the morning of the next wedding.I am generalising, of course, but nevertheless I will be not far out.
