    Great clip. While the comment that the last time the kilt was worn in battle is strictly true, the British Army actually did not withdraw the kilt in 1939, except for ceremonial use. See: http://archive.scotsman.com/article..../12/15/Ar00704

    In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

    Thanks for the link. That was a fascinating article, Brian, especially the part about soldiers crossing flooded trenches with kilts up over their shoulders

    Best regards,
