I am so jealous!!! European and UK universities always seem to have the most colorful, interesting and cool doctoral robes!!! The one for my alma mater is dull, dull, dull..... I would have gone for a doctorate in Scotland just to look cool!!!!

Nice tats BTW, I have been thinking of getting a couple more, and you have given me some ideas......

Well, the comment I got was that the red robe was one to die for!

Incidentally, after the ceremony I had to give it back (a pity!), BUT on my way to join my guests, a charming Chinese female graduate grabbed hold of me and asked if she could have her photo taken with a guy in a kilt (she wanted a souvenir of her graduation in Scotland to show to family in Shanghai). I was happy to oblige while her exquisitely polite Chinese boyfriend took the pics. She could have had her pick of almost any kiltie that day - most of whom weren't Scots - there were a lot of US, Greek, German, Spanish, Chinese, Australian, and South American men graduating in kilts. I didn't have the heart to tell her I was Irish!!

We'll let her figure-out that she chose you over the rest due to QUALITY. If she chose an Irishman... well... she's a genius I tell you!!!

...what does everyone think about the bald head??

Hair or not?

Bald is beautiful ... If God had intended us to have hair, he wouldn't have created hats .... take it from another chrome dome.

I really like both looks, but the bald one is AOK

Thanks for those comments guys. I started shaving my head bald in 1995 and kept it up (on and off) until fairly recently (xmas 2004 to be precise) and I have gone back to hair since. But the kilt is a regular!
