A viral photo of a workman in a hi-vis kilt has been doing the rounds for several years, here's what you need to know about it.
If you're Scottish and you've spent any time using the internet in the last decade or so, the chances are you've probably come across a widely-shared image of a workman beavering away outside a tenement building while sporting an incredible, hi-visibility neon yellow kilt.
So, what's the story behind it? Well, one theory is that the person in the photo is a worker from Connaught Scottish - a company that no longer exists. It used to operate social housing contracts in some Scottish cities and entered liquidation in December 2012. The article explained: "The men sported the traditional knee-length garments but with distinctive reflective strips throughout the day, while refurbishment works were carried out as part of Glasgow Housing Association 's capital investment programme on tenants' homes."
Another joked: "Nice. Safety and some breeze round your tackle. Have to careful round ladders and scaffolding otherwise passersby might get more than they bargained for." A third added: "I'm getting one. Casual Fridays but still meeting PPE standards."
