THCD nightmare by some drummers

[Calgacus]

There was a thread very recently asking whether wearing a kilt with a Saltire on the back was potentially disrespectful, as it would lead to the wearer 'sitting on the flag', as it were. A thoughtful and considerate question, the answer to which highlighted the cultural differences between North America and Scotland. Yet, when I point out that I find the wearing of kilts backwards by some youths mildly disrespectful* to what is after all a cultural icon, I get told to get back in my box?? Can't you see that this is basically the same thing? You don't seem willing or able to try to see things from a different cultural perspective. Frankly, I expected better from the world's premier kilt website.

So wearing a kilt backwards, sorry, that has negative connotations... with the pleats at the front, is not 'wrong'?

Ok, I get it. I totally get it.


*Even 'mildly disrespectful' is probably too strong for how I actually feel about these lads, but it's not them that I have the issue with.
