Time to take a deep breath and go do something else for a couple of hours?
(...so says the guy that in past years, used to rant on something fierce on XMTS  )

As we know, Jock does not believe in wearing the kilt when he sallies forth from his Highland fastness. Does he have his very own favourite Tigh an triubhais pub?

I have worn my kilt to that establishment a few times but not by taking a conscious thought to do so. Actually though, I am not much of a pub person and would not go unless it was to eat something, or meet someone.
To get to the point that you, I think, were wanting to make Alan. Doh!
Driving some 450 miles between destinations North and South and back, I find trousers are far more comfortable than the kilt. So we drive down/up at night, pit stop at TBay on the M6 going South and Abington services M74 going North, and try to get the journey done in about 9 hours depending on the mood and traffic/weather. By rail or air which we sometimes do, trousers are just less hassle. So no quick racing style changes of attire at some hostelry on the border for us!

Just so you all know that we Scots don't necessarily agree among ourselves 
I always wore the kilt during my sojourn in England and I always wear it on (now rare) car journeys to London and other such places.
Of course, Jock, I don't quite live in the Highlands (or do I?) so maybe I shouldn't be wearing it at home.

Well, I'm glad to see a variety of opinions here. Thanks for that, Rabble!
If I've tromped on other feelings, I'm really quite sorry for that (actually, they're size 10½, so it's even worse than you accuse me of!) and I can only plead that my ire came from my own hurt. Exclusion is always painful, and something I've tried hard to avoid in school, in church, and in everything else, but I'll put a bandage over it and get on with life and hope that you can do the same.
Cheers & Blessings,

I was the guy in the Warrior Tartan (purple) kilt, and I think it's great seeing other cultures wear the kilt, and wear it well, such as the pic above
