Yoga in kilts

[Bubbles]

Hmmm! Now I know what a Scotsman wears under his kilt 😁

My son-in-law wears his kilt most of the time, I haven't been tempted to peep underneath it.

Most of the time?
Bloomin uncomfortable - and heavy - in this heat, I'd think.
I'll probably put my kilt (and accessories) on for Kirk on Sunday (We usually have hymns to Scots tunes to commemorate Bannockburn day) - but if it's as hot as it was yesterday; forget it.

And here's what happened next. Sadly.

My son-in-law much prefers a kilt to wearing trousers. He was wearing his kilt on Sunday when the whole family met up at the Ironbridge Victorian Village as part of my husband's 70th birthday celebrations. It was boiling hot, but he seemed comfortable enough in it.

He must be made of stronger stuff than I am!
Either that or he has one of those modern lightweight ones;
'cos my kilt weighs a ton - well around eight pounds, as it's wool. Add on the leather belt, silver buckles, kilt pin, sporran, not to mention the wollen hose and nicky tams, and the whole thing's a heck of a burden - especially as I walk to church - about a mile from my house.
Of course, when it's wet, the kilt can REALLY be heavy.

If he's wearing it casually then I would guess he drops the accoutrements. I attended a wedding a couple of years ago in temps similar to what the warmer areas have had in the last few days, and was glad to wearing one of the lighter kilts

Some people are jealous, of other people's successes, bodies etc.

I didn't know about that when I posted it 😟

It is sad.

Yes, that was disgusting. Haven't seen an update on any outcome. Anyway here's a link to his website.

His kilt looks heavy enough to me, but he only wears the full regalia with it on special occasions.

Nothing wrong with kilts it's the tortured cat under the arm the Scots insist on carrying.

As with a good deal else I'm with the ipmeister on this one - Caledonophobe he may have been (which I don't support or agree with in any way whatever) but Dr Johnson had the right of it when he defined a gentleman as someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but doesn't

Lord Auchinleck (Boswell the sycophant's dad) rightly despised Johnson. The Boswell mausoleum is about fifty feet from my parish Kirk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crTYoInQJv4

.....and speaking of Lord Auchinleck, who was amember of the Court of Session and an advocate of the Scots language - as well as a composer of a wheen of tunes, here's one of them - 'Jenny dang the weaver'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roJgBavr9_A

I noticed that Scotsman Williams has bowed out of Queens.

I'll probably be tried for treason for this, or transported to somewhere unpleasant, but this Scotsman detests the sound of bagpipes on the basis that, to my ears, they make an unmusical racket.

I thought they were an Irish invention or something like that and I think the Bretons in Northern France have something like it too?

Best to not drink too many pints then!

Ancient Greeks used them - followed by the Romans, Italians, Bretons, Hungarians, Irish, Scots.....

Why d'you think I prefer a dram?

It looks as though they all had the sense to rid themselves of them, how come the Scots insist on hanging on to the blasted things?

Er.... The pipes in various forms, are flourishing in several parts of Italy, Hungary, Galicia in Spain, Breton in France, the Basque country - oh, and Northumbria, of course, as well as Ireland, Scotland, Canada....... Wee bit out of touch there, Ippy! Try coming to Glasgow during the Celtic Connections festival in January - you'll see there's a whole lot more to piping than a massed band (which is a relatively recent invention anyway) Here's a Wiki link showing the various instruments and their use today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bagpipes
