    What do you call a group of kilts men?

    In a response on another thread, I mentioned "grouping" nouns, as in pride of lions, parliament of owls, crash of rhinos, etc. Which made me wonder...

    What do you call a group of men in kilts? A tank? A sett? A link (as in golf)?

    I think the best word to describe it is already in use referring to Lions, but we can use it for kilts as well...

    A Pride.

    Oh well, I’ll suggest an obvious answer. A CLAN!

    My grandfather always just used "kilties". I prefer "Ladies from Hell" but he was there so I guess he ought to know.


    And he would use both ways: for troops; with a slightly different tone, for "Texan tourists" on High street. (To him, every unidentified American tourist was from Texas.)

    A Rabble of Kilts is most accurate. Very Good.

    I was gonna suggest that P1M's "rabble" would be about the best term...I see that I'm not alone in that opinion.

    Best
