Some pictures (finally) and observations

[Troy]

Hi All,

I attended a work social club function last week, and finally had some digital photos taken by some interested parties, I hope you enjoy them:







Here are a few observations I have made following this and a few other recent kilted outings:

- Ladies, in general, will want to talk to you.

- When sober, older ladies are a lot more forward about asking 'The Question' than younger ladies are.

- After a few drinks, the younger ladies pluck up the courage to ask, or will try various sneaky ways of finding out for themselves!

- People from China (of which there are many at my place of employment) are very interested in the whole kilt/Highland Dress subject. I spent a lot of time answering questions about clans, tartans, sgian dubh, bagpipes etc. from my Chinese colleagues.

- Somebody will always say, "If I knew you were going to wear a kilt I would have worn mine!".

- Wearing the Cornish National tartan to a Highland Gathering is a great way of meeting people; you will be asked by many folks what tartan you're wearing, as they don't recognise it.

- With reference to above, Scots are not 'precious', they think it's great that you're wearing a kilt in the Cornish National tartan.

- Your three-year-old son gets upset because he hasn't got a kilt!

Have any of you folks had similar (or opposite) experiences?

Cheers,

Troy

The Cornish National tartan is wonderful. I wouldn't mind having that one.

Great pics, you wear your kilt very well.

Methinks all the ladies in the photos are thinking, "AT LAST, a REAL man."

Very very nice Troy, you look grand in the Cornish Nat. I just bought Cornish hunting for my wife, I'd like a kilt in it for myself.

Who made your kilt?

Come down to Tassie and we'll have a kilt night!

Your gracile colleagues obviously appreciate your excellent choice of attire.

?... a silly question - I'm not familliar with the style of necktie you have. Is it a bowtie tucked under the collar, or is it a different style altogether...?

You look very smart, A smile would not go a miss, Hope you had a great time
