Kilt wearers could face prosecution if they do not have a licence for their sporran under new legislation which has been introduced in Scotland.

The laws are designed to protect endangered species like badgers and otters, whose fur used to be favoured by sporran makers.

If the badger has already been made into a sporran, its probably too late to save it!

I can see the adverts on STV now:

They are called hen parties in some parts.

I wonder what Ken Bruce thinks of this? A potential topic for his 'Spin It To Win It' competition tomorrow perhaps?
