I have always thought that the kilt is an integral part of our Canadian heritage. There are numerous Canadian military regiments and bands that wear kilts as their dress uniform. Here in Toronto several of the police forces have pipe bands that wear kilts.
Does anyone have any other theories why Canadians seem to be so attracted to kilts?
I'm surprised we haven't members from down East. I'm told in Nova Scotia more of the population wear kilts on a regular basis.
Then of course there is a number of Scottish country dance clubs. I'm president of one but hardly anyone comes out in their kilts for weekly dance nights.
