    World record number of kilts?

    In the May edition of the Tartan Herald, published by the STA, is an article and picture of an 85 year old man from Saltcoats who has 250 kilts, 50 sporrans and 50 jackets.

    Is this a record? It leaves Hamish trailing far behind.

    Where does this leave the one kilt theory?

    Wow!

    Does he actually wear them or is that more of a museum-type collection?

    I'll never catch up. Now, that's some serious kilting.

    A lot of cash for something he can't wear without going through most of the year to get there.

    Wow , that's a lot of kilts and other attire .

    Did the article state whether they were all for his personal use ... or was he a collector ?

    Still looking more sensible and practical, I would say.

    Gotta love the variety at hand for him...never "the same old kilt." Gotta wonder what size he is....
