1. You’d be cauld with the kilt…

2. Is there anything actually stopping anyone from wearing them?

3. No. I already hate shopping. I’m not going to get a kilt and offend someone by getting the wrong one.

4. It’s not really connected to Celtic or Gaelic history is it? It was adopted by some somewhat outlier nationalists to try and forge a more separate identity from the English. Only pipe bands kept it up in any serious way. It’s not an genuine part of our culture.

5. I think it is more of a Scottish thing. Would be like a French person wearing lederhosen.

6. No.

7. Just wear a skirt and a purse any time you want, no one cares.

8. No

9. Too many nettles

10. What like some kind of government program?

11. Will you be quite. Don’t you know the Kilt is a joke the other nations on these islands played on the Scots. Sort of a you do it first and we’ll all follow you sort of thing.

12. Sure give it a whirl, but your legs may need to be hardy to keep warm in these months. I prefer it for ceremonial purposes.

13. I would absolutely wear one.
