    Or the best! I find the older the individual, the more accepting they seem to be. It is the young bucks and lasses that have a problem with it!

    I would have to agree, in my experience the older ladies just love the kilt and the younger ones just give me a wierd look.

    Maybe it just has to do with maturity, as far as young lads I've never heard a bad word from one, I get all the usual questions.

    I just love it when an older lady or gentleman has a compliment for me, especially if they have a scottish accent. I cant explain it but they say I made their day and really they made mine.

    I agree with Splash4; I usually get great compliments from the elderly.
