"No Thanks"?

[MacMillans son]

I suppose there is a positive side... I didn't spend hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars more on highland attire, only to end up feeling icky and wrong about wearing it.

But you are correct, piperdbh, I belong in overalls and an old straw hat, not a kilt, and not worrying about black tie attire.

Of course you are always welcome Bugbear, but I am curious as to why you would continue to participate on a kilt board?

I made a few friends here during my kilted days, and I manage one of the forum's social groups.

I for one am delighted that Bugbear hangs out here, and hope some day to botanize with him out there. Kilts and all are very nice, but I look for something subtler in the Highland legacy, and I think it lies in the land itself and its people rather than its fashions. A recent visit to the Gaeltact of Ireland (my first), was as life-changing as visits to the Highlands in the past, though I lament the loss of the old forests, just as I did as a child in England.

But back to the original question. I wonder what made you ask it in the first place?

Hear! Hear!

I count Ted as one of my friends (kilted or not), and always look forward to his reports/discussions on his gardening pursuits,
....besides we both have an affinity for bats
