Its very drafty there in Scotland. Do they wear anything like thermal underwear or even shorts under their kilts? I even heard they dont wear anything at all! Can anyone satisfy my curiosity?

I actually asked a guy who lives in Scotland what they wear under their kilts.  His response: "real mean don't wear anything underneath" lol

Here's what they say at Elf school about the way elves dress\n\nThat’s right, Elf School. With a curriculum, classrooms, textbooks, diplomas, and ongoing research, Álfaskólinn (Elf School) teaches about the five different types of elves, hidden people, and other invisible beings that inhabit this island nation. There are elves, light-fairies, hidden people, dwarfs, gnomes, and mountain spirits, and, thanks to my Elf School textbook, I have drawings to tell me how each type appears. \n\nIcelandic elves, for example, can have long, spindly legs, big ears, or crazy hair but they don’t wear pointed hats or shoes. Such garb is found on an Icelandic dwarf, perhaps, but he could just as well be wearing a long cloak or a beard. Hidden people are dressed like old-time, country folk, even though these same hidden people have been known to label us regular mortals as the "primitive" ones. In fact, there are so many variations that an entire flora has been described: 13 types of elves, 3 kinds of hidden people (including the Blue People), 4 varieties of gnomes, 2 forms of trolls, and 3 types of fairies.\n\nSince, according to Magnus, only 4% of Americans believe in hidden people, it seems quite logical when our small group attending Elf School questions the need for his institution. It’s obvious we don’t know the statistics, as our Elf Master is quick to point out. Today, 54% of Icelanders believe in elves and hidden people and a full 90% of the population "takes notice" of this shadow community, which is said to number anywhere from 7000 to 20,000 inhabitants.\n\n"Take notice" is no small matter, it turns out, as Magnus illustrates with our field trip to Grasteinn, a rock on the side of the road outside Reykjavik. Don’t dismiss the last part of my statement; "on the side of the road" is the essential part of this story, for the entire multi-lane highway was delayed while the Public Roads Administration gingerly moved this rock, said to be owned by dwarfs, out of the construction zone.\n\nPresumably the move saved considerable expense, as other road projects that have threatened hidden people’s homes have encountered unexplained equipment breakdowns and even illness and injuries to workers. There was even a time when the road works employed its own folklorist, to help deal with issues such as misplaced elves or soon-to-be-homeless hidden folk, who have been known to resort to sabotage. \n\nInterestingly our guide and teacher, Magnus, can’t report having his own personal encounter with an elf, hidden person, or fairy, but he has spent years taking the testimony of others who have met or spoken to a hidden person. A small boy told of being invited inside the home of a hidden couple and playing with their children, whose toys were considerably more advanced than the mortal’s normal playthings. Not surprising, says Magnus, as the hidden people are quite advanced (their calendar has already reached the year 5022). \n\nHidden people have even intermarried with humans (although it’s always the human who disappears into the hidden world). And, though they have a life span that is roughly double that of humans, their population is decreasing due, we are told, to "some biological problem" that is causing a declining birth rate.\n\nIn our further explorations of Iceland, it’s not difficult to imagine how a belief in a hidden life or fairy people could have developed here. This is a land of stark, virtually unexplainable contrasts where conditions have long been harsh and the need for diversion obvious. Iceland experienced an extended Dark Ages which kept the people in such dire straits that the average Icelander did not encounter the wheel until a mere 130 years ago. \n\nThis national history finds its way into the lore of the hidden world as well. The rumor among the hidden people, claims Magnus, is that when the Vikings came, they tried to kill and enslave the Irish peasan

For some reason it is my experience that cold weather makes me perform better. Maybe some under armor if you have that or any semi thin layered sweat shirt would do good.

Kilmacolm.. Just outside Glasgow - there's no pubs there.\n\nI would imagine around Dumfries and Galloway though as you are on top of the hills. the clouds would dump moisture either side. Compared to most hilly areas it doesnt get as much snow as the Grampians or Cairngorms and is well enough inland to be reasonably protected.\n\nI'm from Falkirk and ger rained on frequently as clouds attempt to pass the Ochil hills

When I was on holiday this summer in Scotland I went to the Island of Muck (I may have spelt that wrong if so Sorry) it is on the west coast.  It was the hottest day in record in Scotland 30C.  We went to a beautiful white sand beach where we found a number of cows some of which were a paddling in the sea with us. Very odd. So, yes I do believe they like to be beside the seaside, in the sea.\nThanks

The government will always controll us-there's no getting away from that.  I have been living in scotland for 3 months now, and have been working in a pub for the duration, and i've yet to make up my mind whether its a good thing or not.  As a non smoker, i can see the benifits of not stinking of smoke or inhaling second hand smoke all night.  However on the flip side, if i really hated stinking of ciggeretts and inhaling second hand smoke, i wouldn't work in a smokey enviroment, and i would stay away from similar enviroments.  What i DON'T think is a good thing is crowds of 20 to 30 people gathering outside a pub/club for a smoke-in the pouring rain. I think proper ventilation and/or a beer garden.  They are fantastic. especially with BBQs.

i cannot believe im reading these answers ,probably about 85-90% but the majority is because their fathers and grandfathers ,and greatgrandfathers before them all supported celtic it is all about religion and bigotry and im not just talking about celtic rangers supporters are exactly the same ,questions like this come up all the time from both teams and clowns come on saying its the minotity ,yet any time my team plays either of them ,when all the sectarian and bigoted songs are being sang i dont see very many celtic or rangers supporters NOT singing ,and thats a fact if you dont believe me just look at your own dvd or video collection and listen to the songs in the background and look at the crowd there all singing ,just admit it the majority of old firm fans are sectarians and bigots

A casual kilt is most often not pleated in the back but the front only. You might look for a local seamstress or couture to design one for you.

Hi Ally! I am in the UK and I think that it is ridiculous that in the 21st century we still have poverty in the western world. In Glasgow for example, we still have people begging in the street, people that are homeless and of course there is the dire straits some of our elderly find themselves in.\n Although Scotland has not been attacked in the way your country has, I still feel that, like you, we should look after our own people first and if there is extra then we can share that out - no problemo.\nPC has gone mad over here and we find ourself in the crazy situation that we cannot deport someone who we suspect of being an undesirable back to their country of origin in case they are abused. So it would appear that we can get blown to hell as long as we do not upset or offend any radicals in the Muslim communities!\n\nIn answer to your final question - stop re-arming - spend the billions of $s on helping your own people. The cold war is over - the war on poverty is not!

we have a lot of men here in Holland trying to act all gangsta like. (whatever the term is) I'm used to seeing European men dressed clean cut and neat.  And here we have men dressing in baggie clothes with bandannas on their heads. sigh.\nAnd furry boots.  Why? I haven't a clue.  But women are wearing boots covered in fur.  Some even have a furry ball dangling on the side.  i personally think they are hidious but that seems to be the fashion.

They probably don't wear underwear.  They are pretty gross if they rewear them without washing them.

It can be very cool in April in that area. When I camp and travel light, I take a good pair of thermal underwear. I layer with a cotton, short-sleeve t-shirt. Over that I wear a long-sleeve henley or button front made from wool. I also take along a good coat that has a hood and is water repellant. All the layers in the world are no good if you are wet. I ususally wear jeans and hiking boots with two pair of socks, one wool and one cotton. Being wet and cold is miserable when camping. Even in the cold, you are going to sweat when hiking. Some people are using underarmor but I don't like the way it feels.
