I want to hear more about the Irish in Scottish kilts.
Now I know that our ancestors fled from Scotland to Ireland after Culloden, and hopefully they were wearing what they would, which I 'magine were kilts. They stayed in Ireland just long enough to catch their breaths, then continued on to America.
Are you saying your ancestors, bless them all, were actually Scottish???
mulling cider with caroway seeds? Yech!
I like that come-back Debacle! I like those kilts too.....
Of my eight great-grandparents, one was a Scot--Jennie Monroe. No, what i refer to is that the ancient Goidelic Kelts in the British Isles all wore the same garb--i used the word "kilt" because literate people would then know to what i referred.
Here be a photo giving us some idea of what a Scotsman wears under that thing:

Setanta - if you and Lovey DO come over here at some stage, I will be betting I can get you in a frock willy nilly.....
By the by, Debacle, i happen to like cold weather, an' sure Lovey would attest that it would bother me not in the least to wear a kilt in any weather. You'd probably freak out if you saw me standing out on her back stoop in the pre-dawn hours, wearing only a pair of levis, as i smoke one of my nasty cigarettes . . .
Bunny, you'll need the help of at least Willy and Nilly--likely several others as well, if you think to get a frock on me . . .
We shall see....we shall see.....heeeeheeeeee......
Not too many Scots in my neck of the woods. There is the town of Scottsburg is So. Indiana, but it's a fur piece from here.
Oh yeah, there is my dentist, Phil McAvity, but I've never seen him in a kilt.
Lil k - if you speak of the photo, 'tis Misti's - but Craven pointed it out to me, and I have been waiting for that special moment to use it - it is deserving of publicity, I think! What a shot!
McAvity, McAvity. there's no-one like McAvity - there never was a doc of such deceitfulness and suavity....
Whew, Thank the Gods and Goddesses he lost weight.
Somewhere I have a photo of a be-kilted man doing a backflip and yes, Virginia, there is no underwear.
oh bunny, dear bunny
<beckoning smile>
there is lawyers and there is lawyers
the ones we'll be spending time with is that other type of lawyer
the fun, thoughtful, occasionally deliberately provoking type
we like them
I have liked a few in my time, too, Beth!
Oh smeg it - bring him down - the lawyers wear frocks and wigs down here - he'll fit right in.....
hehehehehehehehe
all we've ever wanted - a man in a dress and wig
LMAO
Piffka, they really don't wear underwear? You have answered a question that has been on my mind for years. Now, where is that photo? Come on, share.
