Try telling that to Geoff Capes! (Who's actually from Norfolk, so not Scots at all, but I still wouldn't be the one to give him the news that he was wearing a skirt when he was tossing all of those cabers during his career).
Nowt wrong with a bit of experimentation though , good on the lad for having the balls to go through with his protest.

Re: Nutty rules by schools
Try this one for nutty rules:
My local Police the PSNI had a uniform change a few years ago. Now they have a choice of short-sleeved open-necked shirts, or long sleeved shirts with tie. The open necked shirt MUST be worn between May and October in warmer weather, but cannot be worn in conjunction with a pullover or coat. All officers must be uniformly dressed ie all guys in a car must wear the same version of the uniform. if someone feels warmer or colder than someone else - tough! They all have to be the same.
This means that when it's warm, they all wear open-necked shirts. If they go to a road accident, they have to wear yellow coats, which can't be worn with open-necks. So: they all have to change into long sleeved shirts and ties; similarly when it's cold in the evenings pullovers have to be worn over long sleeved shirts with ties, so it's another change. It would be easier then if they wore long sleeved shirts and ties all the time and simply rolled the sleeves up as they used to be able to do; but this is no longer allowed.
It reminds me of the old Foreign Legion punishment of 'Tenue Campaign' where the Drill Sergeant shouted a uniform style and you had three minutes to change; if it wasn't correct he shouted another and off you went to change again. Given that there were a dozen different uniform styles it could go on all night...
