Dee Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 What do Scottish Guys wear under their Kilts? I always see Bonny Prince Charley on the news in his kilt and of course the Irish Rovers sing that song " Donald Wheres Yur Trousers." Everyone I have talked to says they wear nothing. My sister also said this... just wondering if what I hear is true. Oh thanks for the marmite tips. I found a store here in the US that I bought some from. I am waiting for it to get here. I will let you know how it is... Annie ------------------ Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 There was a picture going around on the internet a couple of years ago where supposdedly the wind blew up the kilt of a man on guard duty or something and showed him from the back.......................it was a bare butt expopsed! ------------------ Link to comment
Deblyn Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Ah well, it was only a matter of time before someone just HAD to ask!! Before I answer that, a brief history lesson! Bonnie Prince Charlie was Charles Edward Stuart, known by the Scots as Bonnie Prince Charlie and to the English as Pretender to the throne. He was the grandson of James II, and born in 1720. In the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 he won the support of the Highlanders; his army invaded England (hurray!) but was beaten back by the Duke of Cumberland (boo!) and routed at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, after which he went into exile. The Charles you saw the other day is Charles, Prince of Wales, and not quite so bonnie!! (but he is organic, but he does go fox hunting, so I have mixed views on him, myself!). "Donald Where's yoor troosers?" was sung by a very famous Scottish music hall entertainer called Harry Lauder, nothing to do with the Irish or the Rovers!!!! Anyway, be that as it may.............. it is true. True Scotsmen wear nothing under their kilts, I can truthfully vouch for that. Their big hairy sporrans keep them warm in winter when it's cold, and their nether regions are cool in summer without the encumbrance of undergarments. Mel Gibson is Australian, so wouldn't know anyway! Where the marmite comes into it, I'm not very sure............... (I enjoyed answering this one!!!!!) ------------------ Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 *whispering* It was announced this summer in the medical journals and reported by a news service that it is believed that this custom is why the males in Scotland who wear the traditional kilts have a *much* lower incidence of fertility problems. ------------------ *TEENAGERS*...

Deblyn Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 It is true, apparently, about the fertility of Scottish males who wear kilts; as opposed to the italians who have a lot of problems due to the very tight trousers that they wear. the medical profession in Italy is trying to get them to loosen up a bit to alleviate the problems, but the Italian men are none too happy about it! Deb - you can come and sit outside my little croft when I move back to Scotland and we can go sight-seeing together! ps heather doesn't frow in fields - the mountains and glens are more or less completely open with very few or no dykes (drystane dyke - Scottish wall of locally found stone made without mortar. these are so well done that a lot of them have been standing for 300 years now; they improve with age, getting covered with moss and lichen etc. Mt grandad on my mother's side was a drystane dyker as part of his work) Ladies?! I see no Ladies!!!!!! ------------------ Link to comment
