Kilts in the Wind Pictures

I found a shot that shows how tricky the Paris Metro can be for visiting Scots. I hope this one does not offend - I have kept the size small and the angle is protective of modesty. As a regular visiter to Paris especially for rugby matches supporting Scotland's National team one needs to keep one's wits about one. A 'fashion' kilt would be useless and would let the side down when dealing with the Metro blast of hot air. Vivre le kilt traditionale !

In 1998 at the World Cup, we got off the Paris Metro to visit the Moulin Rouge, the place was swarming with kilted Scottish supporters all in the middle of the boulevard and standing over the very powerful air vents, a more hirsute take-off of Marilyn Monroe in the Seven Year Itch, the gendarmes just stood back and enjoyed the exposure.

Stumbled on another kilt in the wind pic. This is my USA Kilts casual in Warrior tartan pleated to stripe.

Was at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. There was a strong updraft coming up the face of the canyon. Some of the updraft spilled over the rock wall and was playing with my apron and side pleats.
