    But I do. I probably wouldn't except that the midgies don't seem to bother me much

    For the kilt on the hill:

    1. It looks great.
    2. It is comfortable when its dry.

    Against the kilt on the hill:

    1. Midgies.
    2. Horse flies(cleggs).
    3. Ticks.
    4. Draughty particularly in winter.
    5. Wet and frozen "hem" cuts the knees.
    6. The "question" is answered PDQ for those following up the hill.
    7. The heather,rocks etc. cut the knees.
    8. The sporran gets in the way when crawling to get up to the deer.
    9. The sporran always gets in a very tender spot just before making the shot.
    10.If you leave the sporran behind,you spend hours explaing why you have done so.

    No, not the kilt for me on the hill!
