Skid Marks and More

Apparently, hygiene trumps tradition in the kilt-hire business.

The Scotsman reports that companies who rent out kilts increasingly require their customers wear underwear with their kilts, which goes against long-standing Scots tradition. According to the article:
The companies have introduced the clause because of the habit of some men to return extremely soiled garments. While the firms dry clean the garments before they are hired out again, some kilts are so dirty they are unhygienic for staff to handle.
Although I have never considered hiring a kilt to wear, after reading this, I surely will not!
