what on earth do they wear under a kilt anyway......






sneakers?

I'm reminded of a song about a Scotman who got drunk, passed out and girls peeked under the kilt. They tied one of their blue ribbons to his #@$. When he woke up and went wee, the song's lyrics state "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!"

I own a kilt...but I never wear is because I'm allergic to wool......only on short occasions I wear it once in a while.

I lived in scotland for 2 years and it was given to me by a good friend of mine.

To quote an old family friend, who was born and raised in Edinburgh: "What's worn under the kilt, you ask. Why, there's nothing worn under the kilt. It's all in perfect working order."

In Ernest Heminway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, when a Spanish revolutionary won't give up on an englishman for wearing a skirt ('cuz that's what he heard) and insisting WHEN they wear their skirts what do they wear under them is finally told, cajones.

Every year the Presbyterian Church here has a service called Kirking of the Tartan.

All the Clans wear their plaids and it is really cool thing to see. I will ask the pastor what kind of drawers you wear with a kilt. He might give a straight answer since he is a man of the cloth and all. He is also from Scotland. Another cool thing about him is he played a pretty good bit with Van Morrison.

We visited Loch Lomond while my in-laws were visiting. My father-in-law is a bit of a Rob Roy buff, so we did the whole tourist thing. One of the people at the Rob Roy museum said that Scotts developed the kilt because it was convenient for crossing rivers and the like - better than wet pants all day...

If that's true, then traditionally there'd have to be nothing under the kilt - bloody cold in the highlands...!

I've been browsing some of these kilt-sites and by now I actually want one for myself, fight the system!
