Geoff:
I would disagree. It's not uncommon to see kilts being worn, 
particularly in country districts. I have had many Scottish holidays 
over the years and have often noticed this.

I would agree with other posters though that I feel that "Roberts" 
does not give a Scots ambience to the QWC final venue for me......
