kilt

There was a celebrated Royal opening in 2004 where I remember one hard-nosed journalist marvelling at what had been achieved by this "dapper wee man in a kilt".

With tourists comes tourist shops, and BBC Scotland News walked the length of the Royal Mile to count up a total of 72 stores, selling everything from kilts to Highland cow fridge magnets.

Visitors said that a man wearing a kilt attempted to smash through the stone's display case at about 14:00 on Saturday.

Private security guards tackled a man who appeared to be wearing a kilt and yelling.

The King was in a kilt and tweed jacket while the Queen wore a blue coat with a tartan lapel and a red hat decorated with a feather.
