A DANCER for Taylor Swift has been praised after sporting a kilt and holding an “iconic” photo shoot outside Bute House.
Ahead of the pop star’s third and final show in Edinburgh on Sunday evening, dancer Kameron Saunders shared his latest purchase with followers on social media.
Pictures show Saunders sporting a red tartan kilt, waistcoat and a sporran while he poses on Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, just outside the First Minister’s official residence.
He said that he had always wanted to own a kilt but wanted to be “respectful” of Scottish culture.
“I’ve always wanted an authentic kilt but I wanted to be super respectful about the culture so prior to purchasing I had an extensive conversation with the salesman who educated me so very wonderfully about kilts, accessories, Scottish history, Scottish last names, tartans, the thistle, etc,” he said.
“He assured me that I could wear this outfit with pride. So that’s what I’m doing!
“See you out there for our last show tonight, Edinburgh!”
The pictures have received more than 130,000 likes and even attracted the attention of one Scottish celebrity.
On her Instagram page TV presenter Lorraine Kelly said she loved the photos so much they featured them on her ITV show.
"Hello Kamn Saunders - Lorraine here - we featured you on my UK show - Lorraine - this morning because you are fabulous and you rocked that kilt!

"Hope you are having the best time with Taylor Swift."
It comes after Swift broke the record for attendance at a Scottish stadium gig over the weekend as thousands flocked to the capital to see her Eras Tour performances.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
