My point in observing the proscription is that, in spite of it, the kilt endures.

I suppose that an argument could be made that the Proscription Act may have actually helped the kilt proliferate since people always seem to want to do things that they have been told they cannot do. (I only suggest that in a tongue-in-cheek way...please don't start challenging me to cite historical precedent on this because if you do, I'll just start making things up and you can go crazy trying to find the imaginary source material that I'll cook up.)

I take Jock's point that there may not be much of an observance of the event in the UK...sort of something that wasn't right, didn't work out and that no one is particularly interested in bringing up since it might create a brief but uncomfortable silence in the conversation.

Hey...just a simple suggestion for an historical excuse to wear the kilt on a given day...of course, every day is Kilt Day but why not mark those special days with a little more celebration than usual.

Best
