    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."
