but i can understand scots that don t want to be just associated with old clischees.

here in austria we have the knee length knickerbocker short from leader and all the traditional stuff and style jackets going with it and in fact it is perceived as a bit conservative and rural which i personally don t really want to be associated with.

for sure austrias history knew really dark moments and we could guess that it would not be as embarrassing for a scot wearing the kilt. but in fact they are associating something different then we do in our trouser liberating minds.

a modern kilt shows the scots that their garment can be innovated or reinvented. a foreigner wearing a kilt produces i think in a scot the feeling that we are living a prejudiced folklore.

anyway i would not wear just my UK s there and will behave as ever with the biggest love to my favorite garment
