Hi, glad to meet you

I think I may have been a member once, but it's so long ago I have forgotten any user details I once had!
I always liked the idea of a kilt, and bought myself one from a travelling Scottish trader when I was a postgraduate student. (I was talked into taking up Scottish dancing as a result: I've no regrets about that, it helped me to catch a girlfriend!)
After a few years I plucked up the courage to buy a plain tweed kilt in Edinburgh and started wearing that too (girlfriend having become wife).
I now have lots of kilts: six tartans of varying weight, tweed, plain, corduroy, denim, and an Amerikilt that I picked up at a Celtic festival in the US.
It still bugged me that, as a man, I was allowed to wear a skirt just so long as it was knee-length and pleated (and preferably tartan). So this year I started cruising the charity shops, and have been wearing a comfortable mid-calf length skirt at home. Today was my first public outing. If anyone noticed they didn't say anything. (I went to a quiet park, not to a busy shopping centre!)
I guess the next step is to test the wife's reactions...wish me luck!
