I wear the kilt because it is my "national dress" and I am proud to be Scottish. As stated in other messages to this site, I have worn kilts since I was a child, and fashion has nothing to do with wearing a kilt as far as I am concerned. Wearing a kilt feels right and good; and a proper kilt is one of the most flattering forms of male attire (even on a little old curmudgeon such as myself).
With regard to "free spirits", I wish that the Scots were totally free of English governance - roll on the day when I can apply for a tartan passport!
