I, perhaps, did not make myself clear. The costume in question
(that we
have a pattern for) is definitely an article of masculine attire.
Or
lack, thereof.

I seem to recall a discussion (several years ago) about
W***** W******.

That's what I'm afraid of - women are fascinated by W***** W******s.

"Willey Wonker"?


Well my W***** only needs one kind of W***** but I think I might draw a
veil over that --- --- --- Ahem!

You wear trews then.
It could well have been that those amang ye what wear kilts would have
needed such appurtenances come the cold winds of winter.




Aye! But Scot I am but not a highlander.

I'll demonstrate me ignorance now.
Isn't the wearing of kilts now a common practice in the Lowlands?
Lord knows there seems to be a Tartan for about any group anywhere.
(The Fiji Islander Tartan has a most fetching design)
;=)




Ayr! But I it's not compulsory. Even if my mother was a Fraser, and I am
thus half way descended from a highlander, my early upbringing was by my two
grandparents on my father's side and these were both from lowland/borders
stock. While I love the highlands, their music and their culture and have
many friends there I do not feel I am a highlander nor that bagpipes, kilts
and tartans are part of my culture. This, in no way makes me any less
Scottish, for as Bill McLaren, (the voice of Scottish Rugby), said, "There
is nowhere more Scottish than the Scottish Borders". Some of Scotland's many
charms are the diversity of her people and her scenery. You can travel a few
miles and everything be different.
