One of my HS Principals, told me once about being in a Scottish Private School, and wearing kilt with no undies. Something about how cold it can be on certain portions of your body when you sit on the ice cold wooden seats first thing in the morning. ( I think that makes you more virile as you get older. ) I can't look at a guy in a kilt without experience shrinkage.

Nice shot…. 30 years ago this summer that our two year stay in Scotland began. Haven't been back since and I miss scenes like this. Planning a grand trip back next summer though!

During Europe's tumultuous past, Highland regiments were much feared and respected!! Hearing bagpipes on the battlefield would scare the whiz water to opposing troops! Glad to see they are honoring those traditions!! That is one SWEET uniform!!

Strangely enough no, remember hot air rises and gets caught up under the kilt.

I knew there had to be a good reason why curry houses were so popular in Scotland…

OK, lets get down to brass tacks... why is he wearing all those little doo das?

Are more doo das better than less doo das, and can you just by them at antique stores or does the Queen have to give them to you?

There's a bonnie lassie in the back ground, so I'm quite sure you mis-focussed on this shot

Are they Kamikaze Scotsmen?

No it was intentional I'm using manual lenses, not Pentax auto focus system that sometimes picks it's own subjects.

Only when the bar runs out of drink.

Bet you wouldn't say it to him, when he's got 400 or so pals right behind him dressed in similar attire.
