They act as if it is ancient tradition, when the majority of the mythos surrounding the kilt (clan tartans) and what not, are fabrications that were pushed by the Sobieski Stuarts in the 19th century.

Pants are great for avoiding biting insects and riding horseback. Aside from that they're not particularly practical.

They like to wear plaid schoolgirl skirts with purses on them and pompom socks while playing a musical instrument that resembles a goose carcass and sounds like Satan's diarrhea.

scott were wearing kilts when the rest of the world were wearing trousers (or what passed for trousers back than). why on earth did they ever choose to wear that? Heard somewhere that some enemy of them referred to them as the "ladies from hell".. |

The kilt was a bloody dress..worn by Romans, Greeks, Welsh, Irish, Scots, English and the damnable Gauls. 10 to 12 yards of fabric wrapped around the waist, over the should for support and tucked and tussled into place to hold it all together with a girdle...today known as a belt. For some reason,, the Scot holds it in honor and tradition..including going to war wearing it...thinking up to and including the Korean War. Where as civilized people started wearing pants/pantaloons some time ago.. |

You said it yourself. It is a version. A modern one. A great kilt is a bitch to put on. They just simplified it. Wearing a fly plaid gives close to the same look without all the fuss. Why do other men care what men wear? |

Because of Braveheart. If it wasn't for that movie nobody would be wearing them. They think it's cool because some warriors back in the day wore them. They want to play dress up and make believe they some kind of connection to ancient badassery.
Because I guuarantee if Kilts were a french thing, nobody on here would be defending them trying to say how cool they are. |

No one wore kilts except for special occasions and those were rare because most still did the whole normal formal business suit or tux. Scottish folks viewed themselves more as equal members of the UK and the whole wanting to be independent thing was looked at like the US looks at secessionists. Also that film drove up tourism and that in turned pushed more quasi Braveheart Scottish culture. |
