    I can vouch for this part:

    For some reason, with certain women in particular, a kilt appears to be attractive, with the power to transform even the most frighteningly plain-looking men (cough) into a dish of some sort
    Half the fun in a kilt at all is because women think I look damned good in them. The other half of the fun is that I think I look damned good in them.

    The rest of his article makes him sound like a whiny kid. More than anything I'd tell him to grow up and get over it already.

    I didn't think it was such a badly written article, or that much of a rant... But the entire time I was reading it I felt like interjecting, "Uhhh.... You're doing it wrong."

    And quite honestly, if he had any desire or inclination to wear kilts (which he clearly doesn't, perhaps having been forced into one a few too many times as a lad growing up), most of his objections could be easily overcome.

    I agree -- wool on bare skin is not particularly pleasant. But that's no reason to jump ship. There are many ways around this.

    Too hot? Too cold? Again, there are simple solutions readily available for those who care to seek them out. But then again, that's the key phrase right there....

    You can always email him. Or comment on the article. Maybe he will put more thought into how he wears the kilt after many testimonies from those who love wearing the kilt.

    It's just one opinion out of many. He pointed out some thinks which are to be considered in kilt wearing. But I still think the kilt is the best thing to wear!!!

    "Forced to wear a kilt." What, they beat him round the head with £5 notes? If he doesn't want to wear a kilt, then he shouldn't wear one.

    So what does he usually wear? In the UK, good suits are made of - WOOL. Of course, he could be wearing one of those shiny polyester things that calls itself a suit.

    I seriously doubt that he has ever wore a kilt.

    Regards

    It may surprise many of you, but those opinions are not unusual---common no----- in Scotland and voiced by Scots.
