It is too easy to forget that the kilt is the attire of the highlander, and what differentiates it from the dress of myriad schoolgirls here in the UK, is the way it is worn.

For it is the wear of proud clansmen, to be worn with a strut and a swagger-and if I may be so bold-with attitude.

The skean dhu is a reminder to the wearer and any observer that they are seeing a real man-a clansman.

Forget that and join the ranks of the little girl dancers, the wearers of a costume, or those with other motives entirely.

There might be rare occasions such as when on a plane when it might be necessary to consign it to the baggage for the duration of the flight: on all other occasions it should be worn.

Whilst for such things as fake skean dhu's: there is only one place, and that is the dustbin.

VERY WELL said James....a man after my own heart...how I hate all this 'costume' and fashion crap....The Kilt (a 'real' Kilt...not something made from PV and the like) is a proud and noble garment and should be worn as such.
