women in kilts

[Barb T]

Part of the issue here is not just the wearing of the kilt itself, but also of the various accessories that go with the typical male Highland outfit. I have seen at Highland Games women wearing men's kilts with sporran, kilt hose, garters, sgian dubh, even Argyle jacket, neck tie, and balmoral! In other words, it was a man's outfit and looked rather odd being worn by the woman.

I wander around games looking exactly like this, but I'm there to compete as a piper. So, it may look odd to people, but it's my uniform.
