American tourists in Scotland

[thescot]

Generally they are seen as foreigners, even those who happen to be of Scots descent. An American who wears the kilt in Scotland is usually looked at in the same manner that a Scotsman might be viewed from an American standpoint were he to travel to Texas dressed up in a 10 gallon hat, Western style shirt, dinner-plate size belt-buckle, chaps, cowboy boots and spurs.

My, my. I guess that when I visited Scotland, I really was a foreigner. Afterall, I was not from Scotland. You do make a cogent point.

However, I was treated much more pleasantly than your words would suggest. My acquaintances there always treated me well. I shall be sure not to seek you out on my next visit so that my experiences continue to be pleasant. Assuming, that is, that you actually live in Scotland.

Wearing a kilt is in no way akin to wearing a ten-gallon hat. People in Texas don't wear ten-gallon hats. Or chaps. Or dinner-plate sized belt-buckles. That is a ridiculous comparison that tends to remove any validity from your argument.

But then, I don't really believe that your argument was ever intended to be serious, just insulting.

Since, as pointed out in another post, you have chosen not to introduce yourself or post any relavant detail about yourself on your profile, you might like to do so now. Since your posts tend to be somewhat contentious, bordering on the rude, we would like to know a bit more about so that we can be sure that you are not simply a flamer spreading discontent. It is obvious that you will defend an indefensible position ad absurtum with no concern for facts, logic, or reason, so tell us about yourself. Inquiring minds want to know.

Are you really from Scotland? Where? At least tell us that so that I will personally know where to avoid on my next trip to collect that whisky from Jock Scot.

I will be the fellow in the Robertson tartan drinking Jock Scot's whisky and laughing at people who take themselves seriously.
