My Dad was in this video he served in the HLI .. he’s still one the go at 88 and he says HLI stands for Hells Last Issue .. that is all Scotland the Brave
This is a SERIOUS point.... The Kilt is ,by far, the better garment of the two but on a male,practicle point, the head of the Penis,particularly in circumcised soldiers,tends to become EXTREMELY painful in cold weather. Both my father and grandfather were in a kilted regiment and they both suffered "Helmet Hypothermia". NASTY.!
What's not mentioned is that the Highland Light Infantry became a kilted regiment in 1948, so when this video was made they'd only been wearing kilts for 9 years. The two battalions were raised in 1777 and 1787 as kilted Highland regiments but both were de-kilted in 1809.
@@bettyrobb8219 In Scotland, 'tartan' and 'plaid' are not interchangeable terms, because (although similar in pattern), there are differences. The repeated setts in tartans follow a distinct rule of pattern (which can't be said of all plaids), as tartans relate to history and will reflect family, clan, or place names, etc, and a 'plaid' can only be called a tartan in Scotland if it is officially recognised as a tartan. Then (confusingly), there's an exception to the rule, as the (official) tartan cloth that is worn over the left shoulder is called....a plaid!
@@yvonnewalesuk8035 Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I myself are of the Cameron Clan but love all tartans and Plaids. Have a great day! 🏴🇨🇦👍🏻
@@bettyrobb8219 You're welcome, Betty. Yes, I love them too...and so did my mother (I have quite a few childhood photographs of me in winter, wearing kilts, trews and Fair Isle sweaters). At least they kept me warm in our Welsh hills. 😉
@@yvonnewalesuk8035 Good memories, I als wore a kilt when I was little in Aberdeen, Scotland. My granny knitted fairisle sweaters, living by the North Sea, they kept me warm also…..I could use one now in our Canadian winters!!🙋♀️🏴🇨🇦
‘Scotch’?! … 😂 and you’re calling them ‘stunted, backward types’?!!! As for the ‘Scots’, most of those I’ve ever met are the opposite of your description (apart from those feckers in Parliament)!
@@yvonnewalesuk8035 Scotch is entirely correct. Read and study history. Similarly, we also have the Welch. These titles are accurate. The modern Scotch and Welch are often stupidly ignorant of their own history.
@@mikewinston8709 Scotch is generally used in compounds (such as Scotch pine or Scotch whisky ), and set phrases. Scots prefer the adjective, 'Scottish', which has been the case for many centuries (you need to read and study history a lot more than you have, so far). As for 'Welch', it is, indeed, an old term for the Welsh, and it also means to renege on a deal (in English). Welsh has been the preferred term for centuries in Wales (again, keep up with those history lessons, cariad)! The only one who comes across as "stupidly ignorant" is you, cariad; I know my history and I certainly wouldn't be taking "history lessons" from someone as insecure as you, so much that you need to sling insults to whole nations. There we are then!
Sadly, your observation regarding their own history is entirely correct. However that's a UK wide problem. The Nationalists in Scotland do have an agenda in distorting Scottish history, underplaying the prodigious, over represented input of Scotland during the Empire era. We must be victims at all costs.
Kilts are Awesome!..They show the strength and love of country for all Scots. ❤️🏴🇨🇦👍🏻
Wow. Every bit of that like a message from another world. Well worth the viewing.

I have never run into this problem before but I do tend to wear knitted knickers when it gets bellow 0F
Sorry to hear that!! Never thought of that before! 👍🏻🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧

Kilts are definitely better than trees,more masculine....
Can anyone tell me what the white sporn is ?
Is that headgear still worn ??
Aye the Tam O’Shanter and the Glengarry are both still worn
Aye
You need to be skinny to wear Trews with any elegance. Strong legs are best displayed in the Kilt!!
Gaelic kingdom of Dalriada
I thought trews were underpants
Trews are classy tartan(Plaid) trousers!! 👍🏻🏴🇨🇦😂
