Disheartening

[Galician]

I'm sorry to hear that you had that experience. I know it can be scary, especially if it was a gang of kids.

Thanks Galician. They were a bunch of (ignorant) men.

Physically perhaps, but certainly not psychologically. Don't forget you're the one with the cojones to wear a kilt in public. (And, yes, that is a requirement for subverting the dominant sartorial paradigm!)

Indeed. I did say that to my friend as we walked away -- that one needs the courage to wear a kilt in public. Thanks Tim.

Several times as I go home at night after a kilt meet or some other kilted occasion, I've been told (especially by teenage girls) that I have a "cute" outfit.

The last time, the gum-chewing commentator asked where I got it, so I said, "Scotland." I could sense a light come on as I walked away and heard a big "Ohhhhh" behind me.
