Guys aren't the only ones...

[Stratherrick]

It absolutely DOES happen in Scotland!

I've never been kilted north of the border, especially in the capital, without being asked, especially in pubs. Looking back, I'd say 33% just ask, 33% decline to find out after being invited and 33% take up the offer or just wade in without even asking!

Hen night parties of English girls/women are the worst/best, depending upon whether I'm in the mood to have my bum, or anything else, felt!

A couple of years back I was in my Kilt and a guy came up to me and said
"have you got your trews on"
I said "pardon"
he said again "have you got your trews on"
I just ignored him and walked away, but he followed me saying "your not saying what's under your kilt then <shakes head>, poor fellow thought that "Trews" were a Scots underwear

I've found "The Question" tends to happen more often around festivals, and the more beer that is poured the more likely people of either gender are likely to simply find out for themselves by exploring.

The more polite the function, the less likely "The Question" is. I've ne'er been asked at church or at a play, for instance.

Best I can tell, my niece was ne'er asked -- which Good Thing because she was somewhere between 11-16 when we did things together. (Then she got a life an interest of her own.)

If anyone had asked me in 1989 what the Scotsman wears under his kilt, I would have answered "trews". If anyone had asked me what trews were—at least in this context—, I would have answered that they were shorts made of the same sort of tartan as the kilt. I don't recall today where I received this information, but I must have read it somewhere. Not online, of course, because I was unaware of the Internet in 1989.
