Like it or not a proper kilt is a symbol of Scottish culture and history, so I do have a problem with someone wearing a kilt in a way that doesn't show respect for what it stands for.

I agree. Wear what you want, so long as you don't show disrespect to anyone else by doing so.

So much can be worn with kilts other than traditional garb. Particularly contemporary kilts.

Been wondering what an aloha shirt would look like with a solid kilt if it were cut to the shape of a kilt jacket.....

Depends.. A big or a little dino?
A Sauroposeidon would need a whole lot more tartan than a Compsognathus!

No worries...I had to change my settings too on the player itself.
When you click settings a window pops up below with many choices for speed of player...like this...

Current Settings: Windows Media (300K)
Window Media Player 56K | 128K | 300K | 700K
Real Media Player 56K | 128K | 300K | 700K
Flash Player 56K | 128K | 300K | 700K

I have DSL, so I clicked on 700k for windows media player, and it worked great!

I have been searching for two years to find content about Scotland on the internet. S' math sin!!!
