Kilts?

I dont think anything will end the Campbell McDonald feud. At least they are mostly civil about it.

Clan Olgelvie. "A-Fin" (To the end) We also have a grudge against the Campells. I've read they burned our keep in the 1600's. (although I don't remember it)

"I've nowt got a kilt lads, but I've drank me share of Johnny Walker."
 
Lazarus Long was known to favor a kilt for the ease with which it could conceal weapons. ;)
 
I have a kilt which is about 9 yards of material that you have to lay out on the ground, pleat it and then wrap it around you and bring it down over your shoulder to belt level tie a belt around you then pin the rest up at your shoulder with a Kilt pin. It was given to me when the school I taught at participated in Ren Fairs that were set in the 1500's. The pattern is supposed to be that of my Grandmother's family of Reed. I can't verify if it is or isn't. Really warm, comfortable and you really can hide a lot of stuff in the pocket the shoulder piece makes. Sorry I had to wear shorts underneath, regimental was not allowed.
I like the story of when the Sar'nt Major was asked what is worn under the kilt? He replied nothing: it's all in excellent working order.
 
This will get some of ya'all wound up ...........

Clan MacAllan, with a good infusion of Campbell and Gordon.

And Aye, I've the full kit, kilt to dirk and back.

The family stills runs the MacAllan distillery in Scotland which I've a fair liking of.

A smart-alecy gal just out of journalism school and working for a small weekly newspaper in Dekalb Co, GA once asked me, just to try to make me uncomfortable, what a Scotsman wore under his kilt. My one word reply:

"Lipstick." :D
 
Put a dress on a guy......

Proud of my Scottish ancestry and proud to be of clan MacFarlane. I cant afford the $300+ for my clans kilt atm so I have a blackwatch budget kilt. Boy do I get some weird looks from the young bucks around my area but the older generation usually look on with approval. Who on here is willing to admit they wear a kilt? Also what clans do you hail from?

If you want to make a guy really mean, put a dress on him. The Germans called the Scots "Ladies from Hell". Those Greek mountain guerrillas with the skirts and the pom poms on their shoes weren't anything to sneeze at either. The Romans despised anybody that wore pants and they kicked butt all over the world. I don't wear a kilt, but if I wanted to march around and kill something, I'd wear one proudly.

Is that the Boy Named Sue syndrome? :D
