    As much as it may be against my nature, I agree. I tend to be a live and let live sort of guy. However, if one is going to wear a prince charlie, a nightstalker sporran and tennis shoes are not appropriate. That being said, there are many different ways to wear the kilt, accesories to choose, and being able to put together a look that is comfortable and somewhat "together" is the key. My two cents.....

    These "types" (and others) annoy me at our local Highland Games if what they are wearing (or the way they are wearing it) is like one big caricature of those of us who do see it as our culture. Then it just makes us as a whole look like a big joke to the unkilted masses attending our local games
