Do Scottish men wear kilts？ When people in other countries learn about Scotland，there are several things they learn that are considered "traditional".They learn that Scottish people eat shortbread biscuits.These biscuits are very thick and dry.The tourist shops in Scotland sell a lot of shortbread biscuits.Tourists buy them as presents for friends back at home.They learn that Scottish men wear kilts （which are like skirts）.And they learn about the bagpipes—a Scottish musical instrument.Some people say that the bagpipes sound like a cat in pain!So people think Scotland is very unusual.They think that if you were taken there by magic and had to guess where you were it would be easy!Or would it？Let's just take one of these Scottish traditions：men wearing kilts.Do Scottish men wear kilts？
On a recent trip to Scotland the only men I saw in kilts were in Edinburgh.They were playing the bagpipes near Edinburgh Castle.They were clearly dressed up for the tourists.When I asked several of the Scottish men I met if they ever wore a kilt，these were the replies：
"I work on a building site.I climb all over buildings，often very high up!Do you think a kilt would be convenient for this job？I don't own one，never have."
"I have a kilt that I wear to weddings and parties.I wear a suit for everyday work and jeans at weekends.The kilt is part of our tradition，so I have one and so do many of my friends."
"I wear a kilt to work—I work in a tourist shop in Edinburgh.At home I wear jeans.It took my wife ages to stop laughing after she first saw me in my kilt!"
"When I was a boy，my parents made me wear a kilt sometimes.But trousers are more convenient.I don't wear one now.It's not necessary（adj.必要的）.I even don't own one."
