I live in a town of 15,000. I first started wearing a kilt as everyday wear in January 2003 when I had a leg injury and was on crutches for a few weeks, and since then everybody expects to see me wearing a kilt. I very rarely get any comments on my kilts but if I venture out in shorts or trousers I am frequently asked where's the kilt today.

Interesting point about being a Notary Public. I was appointed as a Notary Public about 1975/76 and at the time the appointment was for life. However new legislation by the Scottish Parliament substantially reduced the numbers of Notaries Public and my appointment was terminated last year. I received a letter advising me of the terms of the new Act and that I should no longer act as a Notary after the date it came into force. I agree with the purpose of the legislation, there had been some serious cases of abuse of power by certain Notaries Public, Justices of the Peace and other similar office holders, and something needed to be done so that these appointments could be ended if appropriate, but I feel that the new legislation goes much further than needed.
