The kilt surely is the most social garment any person could wear

It's certainly my experience that the wearing of the kilt is well received nowadays. However I remember my parents dressing me in the kilt for church as a young boy and the shouts of "kilitie kiltie cold bum" from older boys on the way home.

That brings back memories but it is something I have never heard shouted for years. I suppose so many people wear the kilt in Scotland at some point in their life, the respect for the wearer is immense

It does become something of a conversational piece. I always have people coming up and talking to me at events who wouldn't otherwise.

I was in a tailor shop today and was asked why I wear a kilt.
when I told him it was my right and heritage I got the strangest look followed by a big smile. He then went about telling me of his family from Ireland.
