My sister's father-in-law was in the Scottish army, and I asked him one day, "Is it true the men who wore kilts don't wear any underwear"? "Aye" he said," on parade duty the sergeant would walk around inspecting the men and he had a small mirror fixed to the toe his shoe and he could tell who wore undies and who were without".

Of course you're right. I should have said I thought he was English.

Oh nothing like the swing of those kilts!!!
I loved Scottish Country Dancing day at elementary school.
Every Friday we had physical education for one hour in the afternoon and once a month it was all
for country dancing. It beat climbing the ropes and jumping the horse any day
Sadly, I never ever owned a kilt.

My school was a dance school so the dancing part was all Scottish country dancing, Ceilidh's and square dancing like ,,,Dashing white sergeant, Gay Gordons' Viennese Waltz , Valeta and more.....I'd still do it today if I could find any clubs near me that had trad country dancing

AH the Valeta...so graceful.
I did a lot of ballroom dancing in my day and The Albert Dance Hall in Glasgow was
the only one who would play the music for it.
The male dancers were not so keen but many good dancers went there so it was always a treat to watch them
and occasionally get asked to dance it.

My darling old Grandad hadn't been back to his beloved Scotland for almost 30 years, so he decided to visit the old country with my grandmother. He wanted to see the Edinburgh Tattoo. When the massed bands came marching out, he said he burst into tears because it
bought back old memories of himself with his old regiment. When they played "Will ye no come back again?", he said that was it for him, because he knew he would never see the old place ever again. God Bless you Grandad.
