So how’s wearing a kilt in Glasgow working out?
Well, as expected, kilts are pretty rare in the streets. Unlike Edinburgh there are no busking pipers here, so that eliminates one category of kilt wearers. The tourist business—tour guides, museum staff—here seems less inclined to wear a kilt as well.
So far, I’ve seen one fellow kilt wearer: probably a student, wearing it quite casually, and a bit too low to my taste. But that’s what ‘they’ do with trousers nowadays, so I guess it makes sense they do it with kilts as well?
Usually there’s no reaction at all when people see me wearing the kilt. The responses I did get so far were from men most of the time, and it was often about their own kilt: how old it was, why they don’t wear kilt pins, or how much they actually like wearing it!
I’d say: just wear it then! 🙂
