    Whoa Nelly! You need to send that man all the pics we have of men wearing kilts and football jerseys!! They look sharp together.

    Check the galleries at www.amerikilts.com and the old but lingering www.pittsburghkilts.com

    Or email me. I've a small collection I can email you.

    Probably really afraid the lady cheerleaders would be too distracted by your kilt to do their sideline job properly.

    Pierre,

    Sorry to hear of this. If you have a good relationship with your nephew you should find some time to talk this over with him.


    Cheers

    That is very sad. Scottish heritage is part of Quebec culture - as are the French and the First Nations cultures. McGill University, the Black Watch of Montreal, the Eastern Townships settled by Scots are just a few examples. To bad that some of the folks do not see that. As one who was born and raised in Quebec (St. Bruno - just down the road from you) I have roots in these three communities and wear all of their symbols proudly.. Wearing a kilt in Quebec is about celebrating a part of the Province’s history and about your personal independence. For a place working so hard to maintain its culture it is sad that you are being asked not to be kilted. Not to turn this into an Anglophone vs. francophone issue but would they ask someone not to wear a “courier du bois” style hat? Many solders of Montreal’s Black Watch regiment lie buried on foreign soil so we could all live free. I do hope they rethink their stance.
