The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 15, 2014

Those yards of oiled wool can get pretty steamy. You need the winds off of the firth to cool things down.

His socks and shoes. I’ve worn a few kilts in my time at regimental parades.

A true Scotsman will never tell you what he wears under his kilt. However, he will show you at the drop of a hat

You can tell about a Scot’s clan by the kilt. Lift it up, and if you find a quarter-pounder underneath, you know he’s a McDonald!

I have no comment. Just wanted to let you know I read all your clever comments and enjoyed ‘most’ of them. My grandparents were from Scotland so all things Scottish have a special place in my heart.

The modern kilt is a Victorian invention. The real version was like a blanket that wrapped around the body, rather like a toga..If you have the inclination you can have a tartan designed for your tribe, family or religion. There is a Sikh tartan.

Not surprisingly, I have many friends and relative with kilts. My new man may eventually wear one to some events. Things are going very well and I’m going to his theater performance in a bit – first time I’ll hear him sing, surprisingly.

I think there’s a bone joke in there somewhere too.
