Goodbye Scotland

[Graham]

Our last day in Scotland spent on the other side of the water from Edinburgh near the Forth Bridge.
Tomorrow we fly to England and stay for a week or so, we are looking forward to a meeting with Hamish in London. I am a wee bit anxious about using the public transport and walking around with a bulky coat and rucksack, I hope we don't get shot in the head :sad: The world is becoming a dangerous place.

I have seen a few kilted gents while in Scotland, which has been good. There have been no negative comments. It will be interesting to see how England compares.
So I am well into a world tour fully kilted and I can say there have been no problems at all. I certainly have been so very comfortable, my kilts have travelled well being rolled up in a stocking.
We have driven around 1000 miles up to date, I would not have wished to do that in pants.

I'll try to post an update after meeting Hamish, if the gallery is working when I return (hint, hint) I'll post a few piccies of the trip.

G... when you actually get this thread (or if you do) would you be willing to start a new thread on what you do when travelling with kilts. What are your packing procedures, and what have you found to work over this long trip? This is all stuff that's invaluable to us!

In fact, an article in that department of your trip and how the kilts were packed would be a GREAT addition. A few pictures to highlight the thing wouldn't hurt.

sure Jimmy, when I return I hope to post piccies.


Re. the kilts, well it's not too flash, I just rolled them up in stockings and placed them in my bag. The PV kilts have fared well, but the one wool kilt needs a bit of ironing, I packed four kilts in all and I've found the number adequate. I only wish I'd brought warmer shirts since the weather in the UK has not been too warm so far.

Today we had lunch with Hamish in London, it was great meeting him, he really is a true gentleman and we have a lot in common besides kilts.
I'll post more on this later.

Jimmy, I hope to organise something about the trip online, it might be my webpage and a link here, not sure yet but thanks for the suggestion.
