We the undersigned find the proposed changes to the traditional kilt for our Scottish Army Regiments to be unnacceptable. Furthermore, we are strongly opposed to kilts being supplied for our soldiers on the basis of \"cheapest is best\". Kilts have been made in Scotland in a traditional way for centuries and supplied to our soldiers. Some pride in our heritage should be recognised and not just saving a few pounds for \'budgets\'.
We urge MSPs and MPs in Scotland to lobby the relevant official bodies who make these decisions in an effort to reverse this deeply unwelcome move.

The growth of this petition has reached a level that necessitates an immediate formal briefing for regional representatives. I am now in the process of scheduling meetings with the parliamentary offices to present these objections directly to the relevant officials.

Absolute disgrace. Our traditions arent something to be sold off to the lowest bidder. Make them here in scotland where they belong.

Ridiculus. Why are we cutting corners on something like this? The quality will never be the same.

Tired of all the heritage being cheapened. Proper kilts for our soldiers or dont bother at all. Shame on whoever thought this was a good idea.
