RE: Scottish Country Dancing VS Scottish Folk Dancing

You would be surprised how many young people now own a kilt - in stead of
renting it - although renting is still the norm - mostly because if your son
is growing like a week and has grown out of all the family hand me downs, it
is the only thing to do until he has stopped growing.

At the World-cup in football some years ago, it was announced that the
kilt-makers could not keep up with demand.

You see people wear kilts at Rugby matches, football matches, high-school
dances, weddings, ceilidhs, New-Year parties.

  Special occasions. I have seen tuxes at weddings, but no one would equate
them with a folk costume or national dress. I was married in scotland, and,
besides me, only the best man and father-of-the-bride wore kilts, both
rented (though the father liked his so much that he later bought one). I
suspect that the majority of kilts seen at weddings do not belong to the
wearer.
