A very stupid question maybe, but what are your thoughts on William Wallace? The Scots I've asked here are either saying he is a traitor or he was a good man. To be honest, I've only read the wikipedia page about him and seen Braveheart (but the last probably was far fetched regarding him?).
he wasnt a traitor, it was robert the bruce who was a traitor

How often do you wear kilts? What I mean isn't "Do you only wear them on special occasions", I'm wondering how frequently kilt-wearing occurs, that is, how many days a year on average you see somebody wearing a kilt.

I seriously dislike you for 'joining the bandwagon', but I HAVE to ask... is there anything under the kilt? (This is to determine if you are a TRUE Scotsman)
only a penis, that is all

we only wear them on special occasions anyway, we dont wear them all the time
Wait, you only wear your penis on special occasions?

OT: is it true that underwear is only worn under a kilt if there's a woman on the throne?

ive been on many a bandwagon

not been in many barfights, i tend to go to bars where everyone knows each other
Good - Keep getting on more and more (Y)

And fair enough, neither have I, but...I almost want to. I know they're life-threatening and stupid and such, but just for the experience.... >.>

Does Scottish Gaelic get used at all outside of the North of Scotland.
Why aren't they making young Scotts learn it in school?
i went to school in the south (Glasgow), i think we dont learn it for the same reason noone learns latin anymore. its just not used, to be fair its a tradition but we have alot of tradition besides Gaelic

wales on the other hand, they speak welsh as a primary lanuage

Sorry chum. You failed. The correct answer is 'A Scotsman never tells'

And yes, I realise its an occasion thing :p
Actually, the full kilt is only really an occasion thing (full kilt = kilt+jacket+shirt+tie+brogues+sporran+sgian dú+socks+flashes+belt).

I love to wear just the kilt, belt and sporran with a t-shirt and a pair of long kilt socks as if they were any other clothes. At least, I did when I was in Scotland. Down in England you get some really weird looks for doing it. But then, they're a bunch of miserable bampots anyway.

Yeah that would be a pity.
I'm an aussie with no doubt Scottish heratage and with only 200 or so years of history here you tend to apperciate counties with alot of history and tradition.
It would be a shame to see it die off as a langauge.
