Kilt Do's and Don'ts

**gilmore** · 22nd October 08, 07:22 PM

A kilt a few inches above the knee isn't really a don't, or if it is, isn't a capitol don't. In former times the Highland regiments wore them quite higher than they usually are today. Also, some prefer to wear them higher, finding that it's more comfortable when the kilt doesn't hit the back of the knee when walking, especially when hiking.

Here is a place that really enforces the "don'ts"

I really must remember not to ask for a tee time there.

I think the key is in the club's spokesman's reply...

"He was wearing tiny ankle socks and it made it look ridiculous. If worn in the correct manner we welcome kilts."

Seems reasonable to me. Maybe he should have explained that to the transgressor.

now here's a big don't from me, and by me!

I have been following this thread for a while now, and I can't recall seeing other xmarkers post don'ts from themselves, is this just my lack of observation skills or are there simply none/few? Cause I guess we could get a good laugh from some of them, and I think it's always a good thing to laugh a little at yourself.

Come on, we know you got some shamefull pictures hidden somewhere on that drive! now share the fun!

There, ah, seems to be some sort of foreign object blocking your left hand. Were you using it to put the fire out?

Seems reasonable to me, too, and perhaps he did explain it. The report was in the Sunday Mail, after all!

I just noticed there's 2140 posts in this thread. Gotta be a record!

I note that the Sunday Mail article reports that the rejected golfer is a resident of the town where the golf club is. Could it be that he knew the rule against anklets with a kilt and deliberately dressed inappropriately? Could he have wanted to embarrass the club, or could he simply be an attention-seeker?
