First time on public transport

[McMurdo]

I guess it's all to do with the confidence and attitude one exudes when one is kilted.

That, in my experience is exactly it. The thing that continues to amaze me is the amount of confidence donning my trusty old Gunn tartan gives me, perhaps it's because my kilt was given to me by my father, I'm not sure.

Good on you though Troy, the only way the general public will accept kilts is if they see them.
