Now this is an interesting thread, as a year or so ago on the TSF forum a couple of Scottish friends said they thought it was never proper to wear a kilt to a funeral unless you were the piper. They are both Lowlanders (one lives in Dunblane, & the other is from Lanarkshire, now living in West Texas). Does that make a difference in their perception of when it's appropriate to wear a kilt?

I had already been wondering about this since reading an article about the funeral for the poor boy in Livingston: http://icsouthlondon.icnetwork.co.uk...name_page.html

The family asked for everyone attending to please wear tartan, and the boy's older brother was kilted. Sad, but I was currious about it.
