I first started wearing a kilt in 1977, but then it was for highland games and some walks. My first kilt was made by my wife, and it was a good guess at making a kilt. Since then I've acquired several more kilts. I wear them frequently since I'm presdient of the local St. Andrew's Society and do Scottish Country Dancing. There have been a few occassions on which I did not wear a kilt to a funeral or a wedding and was chastised for not wear one.
There are a few who say they've never seen me not wearing a kilt.
