Nathan in his (Clan McRae) kilt at said event.



I support his right to wear it, but I am not impressed with how he looks. But maybe I'm just prefential to the Murray tartan.

Yeah, I guess me too. It just looks wrong, that's all. And I'm not convinced of his right to wear it. The kilt is a privilege that has been bought with blood.

(used to be a hanging offense...)

His surname may/may not be Scottish. His affiliation with his selected tartan (bought off he Internet) is unclear.

No sporrin, no sgein dubh, no kilt-pin, no Prince Charlie jacket. No Brogues. A fairly poor turn-out, all told: I understand some clans offered to help him dress up. He ought to have taken 'em up on their kind offer.

OK, I'm willing to concede that every kid is entitled to one mistake, and if this is the only mistake this kid makes, well and good. I wish him every success in his future endeavors.
