Riding in a dress?

[sels1]

here is a good source for finding out...

Thanks for that. I found what was the closest spelling to my Grandads name.....yeeesh a yellow one - dont think I will be in a hurry to get one of those! But apparently it was worn by Queen Vics father so it has a good lineage...

Maybe a policeman should have given her a dressing-down on doing something so dangerous

Or at the very least, a dressing gown!

A lot of guys just go for Stuart or Black Watch because it's popular and there's heaps of it about;

From memory there are two tartans that anyone can wear. The Universal tartan which was once worn by most Scots units in the British Army until one by one other units got permission to wear a different one and only the Blackwatch retained it.

There is another, the Jacobean (?) which may also be worn by anyone.

Otherwise basically you have to bear the same name as the tartan...

.... But in practise, no one in Scotland usually gives a toss. In fact, the only people I've met who really get their a*se in their hands about 'tradition' (often dating all the way back to Victoria, big wow) are the tourists and the upper class English that like to go to the seasonal Balls/hunting n' shooting trips to their mate Tarquin's estate and show off their four poxy words of Gaelic. Because tartan is popular, pretty and buyable our culture tends to get reduced to that and shortbread and twee crap. Oh, and Braveheart.
Meh. Still, I suppose it's happening to every nation in the world. Hooray for global consumerism...

None of which answers the original question. Do Highland biker laddies do their biking in the kilt? (And, for that matter, do Highland biker lassies do their biking in a kirtle ? )
