Which brings in this questionhaunting me for a few days. I remember my strides in the marshy Highlands... and I'm also preparing holidays by the ocean side in Brittany. Wellintons, or rubbers are a must. But they don't go very well with a kilt.
What would be the alternative ?

Thank You,

I always just go for gore-tex hiking boots. They have done me fine when hiking in marshy areas.

A pic is worth a thousand words. San Antonio Highland Games 2008. This guy walked past CelticSire and me and we were both flabbergasted.

You mean I can't just go to the fabric store, buy a length of plaid material, wrap it around my waist and call it a Kilt?

What is this world coming to?!?!?

Wellies go with everything, but I may be the first person to walk through a pair of wellies with pirate skulls and crossed swords in less than a year.

When I trudged in the marshy bogs of Scotland in 2003, I wore a pair of waterproof Polo Sport boots, which I have since worn with my kilts. The most necessary place for such bog-trudging was the Killiekrankie battlefield (after I got permission from the owner).
