There's also the ruffled shirt and the boots or shoes with metal buckles (pewter?). And if you OC, your holster, belt, and shoes must coordinate.
Aren't highland types also required to carry a sheath knife?

You are correct, sir

"The use of traditional Scottish weapons as part of Highland dress is common, including the sgian dubh worn in a hosetop on the leg corresponding to the dominant hand, and the ceremonial dirk suspended from the waistbelt."

For the record, I wear a utility kilt, so I OC with a paddle holster and a K-Bar. And yes, I'm Scottish.

oohrah ,

Thanks for being a good sport.

Being razzed isn't something all can handle.

flash bang holster for men? "the little strap goes...ummm...nevermind...

I'm going to have to double check when I get home, but I believe my S&W M&P Shield will fit in one of the cargo pockets of my utilikilt. I know the LCP Custom will. Otherwise, I would just open carry my Glock with it like I usually do with jeans. Hmmm, this thread made me realize I haven't worn my kilt in too long.

I didn't realize so many guys wore kilts....

I always just switch over to a smaller gun and carry it in my sporran. It would be interesting to try other options.

Being a Highlander - yes.

And OC a custom Ed Brown 1911 in a custom-made leather shoulder holster? I'm pretty sure that's a requirement.......at least for highlanders. I think that lowlanders can still carry a P3AT in the thigh garter their "partners" gave them at their "celebration of union".

I'm not a kilt aficionado, but I'd think that a Crossbreed with the Utiliclip would hold well, especially if you don't have a gun belt to clip on to.

With this kilt, you can carry any way you want, and still be extremely "Tacticool"

My maternal Grandfather was a Sinclair, and my cousins, all attend the Scottish games all over the country. They are coming to Arlington in May. I don't get that involved with it, and I don't own a kilt but I may get one of these just to "fit in" . My main attraction to my Scottish heritage, is an affinity for single malt scotch.

I first read about Kilt Carry in:
Robert Heinlein's Methuselah's Children
The character's name is Lazarus Long
Published 1941

I think it was a blaster not a hand gun but it's been a while...

I read the book in the mid 1960's.

Any kilt wearers around Houston, you should check out the Houston Highland Games Association. We will meet for a Tartan Day get together at Lucky's Pub downtown near the soccer stadium on April 8 beginning at noon. Come kilted!
Bagpipes WILL be present!

It's the sequel to "Time Enough for Love", and I read them both in the 70s.
