Kilts?

[wuluf]

Not Scott

at all, but I bought a Utilikilt for Ren Faires and festivals.

I do like single malt...

 

[Fishslayer]

And now ladies and gents, the kilt has gone tactical ...

5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt

I stumbled on this last eve while I was going through 5-11's offerings. The tactikilt must be selling as 5-11 is a legit company marketing quality products.

Who'da thunk it?

I'm sorry but that's a skirt.

And what fine Sco'ish kilt thread would be complete without a drinking song?

I just want to say for the record that I ain't kilt nobody.

 

[DeathGrip]

I just want to say for the record that I ain't kilt nobody.

I wonder what the locals would think.....

Running with the bulls?

 

[bmx]

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 piper friend of mine points out, "It's a skirt only if you have something on underneath..."

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."

That kid better get out of there before the tuba solo!

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.

 

[Onomea]

Our son in law married our daughter wearing kilts. He could be scott, I dont know. ...

If he isn't, I think your daughter may have a problem...

Is that the Boy Named Sue syndrome?

I married a Scot, and got married in her dad's kilt. MacDonald. Kilts are fun. Many a good night has started out in a kilt.

I don't wear it much anymore. I do have a basket hilt. I've made and sold various dirks and sgian dubhs over the years. I think all I have left at the moment is the sgian my wife gave me when we got married.

 

[10mmauto]

Clan Cameron. No kilt. Been to Scotland twice.

 

[Cyrano]

Clan Robertson. No kilt, looking for the Sghean Dubh.

 

[A10]

I have a cousin who has been in Scotland doing research. Turns out the family is from the Orkneys. I'll get more details when he gets back.

I've a sgian dubh and a dirk, no claymore yet (probly this summer) or kilt.

Yesterday I stopped at a gas station in Harlowtown MT which is a small farming ranching community in the middle of no where. While there up drove a beat up ranch truck and out gets an guy in his 60s or so and starts filling up wearing a kilt. This wasn't no dress up kilt, but a everyday working kilt that he probably regularly wears. Got to admire a man who carries on something for real instead of ceremonial. I would guess he is a sheep rancher as are many of the old time Scots in MT.

 

[islamoradamark]

my wife is a keegan and very proud of it

 

[george minze]

Well at the Bianchi Cup they shoot with them on...However they do wear underwear I have been told..Will let you know at the end of the month...

 

[peterdeb]

Macdonald of clanranald and Macpherson. I only wear the tartan in scarf form on winter days. Aye Laddie.....

 

[arjay]

No kilt,but most of the family is still over there.

 

[MOONDAWG]

On me mather's side, God rest her departed soul.

Clan MacDonald, Sept MacBride.

And...a Piper's Down!

 

[nawilson]

Kilts as uniforms

Thought this was funny... Wife sent it to me today, by chance.

A couple of Scottish Soldiers meet an Italian woman in June, 1944.

 

[SmokeStack Lightning]

I was motorcycle camping in the Rocky Mountian Nat'l Park in 2005.

Just about all the males in the campground were wearing Kilts preparing for the 'Highlander Festival' which is big doin's around there.

[Donn]

Clan Sinclair. I don't have one, bought one for my son when he was in high school, with all the trimmings, still fits. More recently, rented one for my grandson who's 3 yrs old. He was ringbearer at his uncle's wedding. He used his sporran to stash Oreos.

 

[jimmyj]

Question from a "Heinz 57" American:
Is anything worn under the Kilt ??

[Badquaker]

Those are some real pretty skirts.......lol

:ducking now:

 

[NCTexan]

I'm Dutch and Scottish (Gordon) but don't get the whole ancestral pride thing... especially the dressing bit. Figure I'd look pretty stupid in a kilt with wooden shoes.

 

[5-Shot]

Carlyle, sept of the Bruce clan. We were low land Scots from down south. Us Carlyles figured heavily in the cross border transfer of cattle 5 or 6 hundred years ago. We were reivers...cattle rustlers who dropped down into England to practice our trade. Low land Scots wore leotards rather than kilts and no, I don't have any.

Not probably as funny as you would in a short skirt made of wooden slats and woolen booties I'll bet. But I get your drift. My parents were Icelandic, although I was born in Canada. I have resisted mounting horns on my motorcycle helmet. So far.

 

[amazingflapjack]

When I hear Pipes, something goes off deep inside of me; think it's in the genes?

 

[captorquewrench]

Clan MacNeill (but we use the McNeil spelling) and no, I obviously do not wear a kilt. That's proper menswear, but I can fill a skirt quite nicely.
