    Curling Kilted

    I've been requested to wear my kilt to a curling/family gathering. Just wondering if anyone has curled while wearing their kilt. I could use a few tips, suggestions. Pics of the event will be posted.

    A quick google shows kilted curling to be fairly common.

    I don't know much about curling, but as somebody who skates in a kilt I'd say just say don't go regimental in case you fall down or something!

    KenB: You are a braver man than I, and likely a better curler! For me there is too much potential for landing on my but - not a pretty sight in a kilt, regardless of what you are wearing under. Shorts and a curling knee pad would seem to be in order. Good luck and please do share pictures.

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Zardoz, your ....." in case you fall down or something" scares me - it's not the falling, it's the or something. If all goes well tomorrow I'll have some very funny, hopefully not rude, photos to upload.
