The Emperor's New Kilt
The National Theatre of Scotland and Wee Stories have produced this hilarious re-imagining of the classic Emperor's New Clothes which is currently touring theatres in Scotland.
Its all about the Laird of Kiltie,a vain and tyrannical land-owning snob with a passion for kilts, 2 chancers called Harris and Tweed promise to deliver a kilt 'the like has never been seen before', for his bithday, made of extra special cloth that only clever people can see.
Of course the laird falls for this clever ploy by the dodgy weavers, Harris and Tweed.
Should be fun and I hope to catch it shortly

I can think of some dodgy characters like that;they are to be found in Princess St. Edinburgh.

From what I understand, their kilts are made of cloth the likes of which has never been seen....just not in any good way.

At the very least, it's never been seen made into a kilt. And for good reason.

It also took it a few moments to hit me, but... I hope to good Laird isn't going regimental!

He doesn't go about ranting about his long, flowing golden locks and firm round buttocks, does he? We have a character here who could do the part with little acting ...

If he's "wearing" an invisible kilt, does that count towards kilt checks?

Never did understand that story. Why would you want to wear potentially invisible clothes? even if clever people can see it, that still leaves all the stupid people in the world. I mean, how many of you would wear clothes that will make idiots stare and laugh... never mind.
