In a country pub, 3 overweight Scots lassies were lounging over breakfast in their pyjamas. A bit slack, I thought. Then they apologised for their attire and explained they had completed a 25 miles KiltWalk the previous day. It's a fundraising movement for children's charities. I was impressed.
These women were saving to go on the China Kiltwalk. I hope they like the food.
The kilt is an English promotion/ interpretation of the Plaid, a tourist selling point, and a point of pride.
When asked about the significance of his Tartan, this Bagpiper said, " I'm a Scotsman. It was on special". He's a retired truckie, and he spends the summer in a caravan in the tourist areas,with his wife, piping for the tourist Pound. He was a Piper who performed at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, so he is well qualified.
Pipers can be found on popular street corners in Edinburgh.
Tartan can be incorporated into modern fashion statements.
The average young Scotsman prefers the tougher look.
You can purchase very smart dress tartans, made to measure.
And of course someone has come up with a solution for that eternal question: What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?
