    Cheap Kilts from Lidl

    I popped into Lidl in Hamilton, near Glasgow at lunchtime for a few things and found that they were selling surplus kilts from their January Burns Night sale at the giveaway price of £7.99.
    I found one in my size, a MacKenzie tartan and just had to buy one, really cheap I know and not the greatest of quality but for the more rugged kilting like football and rugby matches, it will do.
    PS. - Just to say I will not be playing football or rugby kilted but only spectating at these matches, some how I don't think a kilt would be the proper attire for such physical sports, but no doubt some X-Markers will have played football or rugby kilted.

    If kilts get any cheaper everybody will be wearing them!

    You were fortunate to find one in your size. As you say it will make a good knock about!

    Wow... makes me wish I was closer to a Lidl! I used to love shopping there when I lived in Scotland.
