well, this is kinda of a silly question but it's about something that's been bothering me...I am a fanatical Irish set dancer...set dancing is NOT like Riverdance, it is a descendant of 19th century quadrilles and is danced in groups of 8, with 4 men and 4 women making up a 'set'. Set dancing is a highly aerobic (sweaty) pastime and the one occassion that I wore my kilt to dance in was the coolest and most comfortable that I ever experienced. I would like to wear my kilt more often to dance...but set dancing involves a good deal of twirling and I don't want to reavel myself to all my dancing friends and anyone else who might be in the pub everytime we go into a "swing". On the otherhand, wearing underwear with a kilt just doesn't feel right to me. In fact, I would find it shameful to do so, like i was letting down the side, even though I know some Scotsmen that do....Hamish,or indeed anybody else, what's the rule here? Underwear when ladies are present? Underwear when dancing in public? I've been to Ceilidhs in Scotland where the lads were certainly not wearing any, as was made plain to all during "Strip the Willow", but I don't really dare to do that as the only kilted man in an Irish set...any advice?
