Here's a bit of humor from the Queen's Own Land.
Good color reference photo included!

In the words of our once German Empress Queen Victoria "We are not amused" just because the poor wee laddie wanted to get some sun on his legs is no reason to take wee wee!

:-) i have worn a kilt a few times! and if your going to do it traditionally this photo could have been a lot worse!
as traditional underwear well err... ISNT! :-)
as they often enquire? "is anything worn under the kilt"?
the reply is often ! "No madam its all in perfect working order" :-)

Poor Sassenach...doesn't know what he's missing ont wearing a kilt. I've worn em twice in my career (black Watch and 48th Highlanders) and they beat regular uniforms hands down.

Downside of kilts? Looks more like looking up to me. Can't imagine the pranging that Colonel is going to be getting.

Onlookers said the Queen didn't notice what was happening next to her. But she does not exactly appear comfortable in the photograph.



LOL, probably 'cos she's not used to being around real men! :-) :-)

I wore a kilt to my wedding... helluva lot more comfortable than a suit! Nice and breezy!

Wanna know what a Scotsman keeps under his kilt? His weapon! :-) :-) :-) sorry, a bit below the belt perhaps... :-) :-) :-) LOL, done it again!
