So who is going to wear their kilt for no other reason?


Today is a great day in history...

On 1 July 1782 Royal assent was given to Repeal of the Act Prescribing the Wearing of Highland Dress 22 George III, Cap. 63, 1782 and a proclamation issued in Gaelic and English announced:

Listen Men. This is bringing before all the Sons of the Gael, the King and Parliament of Britain have forever abolished the act against the Highland Dress; which came down to the Clans from the beginning of the world to the year 1746. This must bring great joy to every Highland Heart. You are no longer bound down to the unmanly dress of the Lowlander. This is declaring to every Man, young and old, simple and gentle, that they may after this put on and wear the Truis, the Little Kilt, the Coat, and the Striped Hose, as also the Belted Plaid, without fear of the Law of the Realm or the spite of the enemies.

Ah, but do you wear something under that kilt?

Bride Punches Kilt-Wearing Groom Who Left Poo Stain On Her Wedding Dress (http://www.anorak.co.uk/282840/strange-but-true/bride-punches-kilt-wearing-groom-who-left-poo-stain-on-her-wedding-dress.html/)




THE Daily Sport is back:

A FUMING bride DECKED her kilt-wearing hubby when he sat on her knee at the reception and left a SKIDMARK on her wedding dress!
Like all true Scotsmen, Angus McClure, 26, didn’t wear pants under his kilt when he married sweetheart Sarah Grant in Greenock, Renfrewshire.

But his traditionalism led to uproar when he perched his poorly-wiped backside on 24-year-old Sarah’s pristine frock, leaving an unsightly smear.

After Sarah swiped at Angus, the well-refreshed McClure and Grant clans led the reception into bloody mayhem.

A police source said: “I’ve been a police officer in Greenock for nearly 20 years and so I’ve seen a lot of wedding parties turn nasty but this was something else.”

In total, seven people were arrested in the grounds of wedding venue, Greenock Reformed Temperance Hall, and face public order offences.

It’s believed that Angus and Sarah were reconciled when they sobered up, and have no memory whatsoever of the melee.

Why do the Scottish wear kilts?

Because sheep can hear zippers from a mile away!

Kilts are cool, I think it was on the old GSUS where someone said you should wear it through a TSA grope line, let the braindead "worker" stick his hands up there with the trouser snake.

I have a kilt in my closet, Didn't wear it today as work would probably frown on that. I've worn it occasionally. We have a kilt maker in the family so mine is special and one of a kind for me. I've been meaning to buy a cheaper, lighter weight one to wear around when I see fit. I'm terrified to wear the one I have since it is nearly irreplaceable (kilt maker is aging and I don't want to have to ask for another...)

Loud McLeod is the nickname of the tartan

Mine is a dancers kilt not a pipers kilt. The pleats are laid differently in the rear.

Not a kilt...but I once wore an ankle length gauze skirt out in public for a few hours...does that count? :)

The girls that dared me to do it made it worth my while the whole time too!

No me Lad... a skirt does not a kilt make... and a Kilt is worn at or just above the the center of the knee! 8-) But those words "worth my while" are words to conjure with! 8-)
