Lance Corporal Lee Wotherspoon of the Black Watch regiment lowers the Union Jack as the wind raises his kilt at the daily lowering of the flag at Hong Kong's Cenotaph prior to the former British Colony being handed over to China on July 1, 1997. The rule against wearing anything under the kilt was once so strict that until World War II inspections of Black Watch troops included having them step on a mirror. For officers, violating the rule cost the offender a bottle of port. My Scottish pride. My shoes and socks.
Nothing is worn, everything is in perfect working order.
She was right, God bless 'er. Being a woman, sometimes other women feel more comfortable coming to me to find out what the guys wear under their kilts. The tune you are hearing is Itchy Fingers.
