Wearing kilts as a mark of respect
The main reason I wear my kilt is that, less than 250 years ago, my ancestors were banned from wearing theirs. Now, I have a strong defiant streak in me that rails against such prohibitions and, for me anyway, I walk with a swing and a spring in my step at every opportunity I can get to show that, as Scots, we reclaimed our heritage and wear our kilts once more.
There are also any number of other, perhaps more practical, reasons as well but, for me personally, this is what makes me strap it on.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
Bruce
