Kilt advice for Scotland trip

[chrisupyonder]

Thank you very much for the reply; this is what I was seeking - practical advice. I guess it will be similar to when I wore my Utilikilt in very, very rural West Texas. They too were too polite to comment but it seemed that every person I saw had raised eyebrows!

Sigh, perhaps the smarter thing would be to wear trousers. Depressing to go to the home of the kilt to wear pants! Well, I have months to figure it out.

Just get a generic tartan such as the black watch. You won't have any problems in the tourist places and if out hiking in the hills you will rarely see another person. Edinburgh, anything goes but a UKilt in Glasgow, Dodgy! ya may get mugged. We caravan down the Great Glen and around Fort William very often. Loads of tartan kilt wearers (mostly German) and they are made most welcome.

The workshop sounds like outstanding fun and in a lovely part of the British Isles. Were I in your position, I'd defer the Scotland trip and explore Cornwall itself further - i's a wonderful place. Should you decide to stay longer in Cornwall, PM me for suggestions.

Yes, Cornwall is most definitely a place worth exploring. There is no doubting that.

Thank you for the suggestion; this is actually my third trip to Cornwall and I have fallen in love with the Cornish coast, the standing stones and the hills. The guy who does the Bronze Sword Workshop lives very near Penzance and I've gotten to visit and stay with him in the past.

One of the reasons Scotland is on the agenda this time is because thanks to the sword workshops I know a gentlemen who may be able to show me some of the Bronze Age collection that is behind the scenes at the National Museums of Scotland. I don't want to miss out on that!
