The male staff at Hootananny has recently been forced to switch to pants, thanks to rowdy female patrons of the bar, who lift up their kilts to check if they’re “true Scotsmen.”

“You get large groups of drinking women circling around when you are collecting glasses and asking whether you are [a] true Scotsman – and they find out for themselves,” Iain Howie, the bar’s assistant manager, told the Inverness Courier.

The bar’s owner, Kit Fraser, called the staff’s treatment at the hands of female patrons “pure sexism.”

“It may seem funny but it is serious, too,” he added. “The women are sticking their hands up their kilts. Can you imagine if I went into a restaurant and stuck my hand up a girl’s skirt? I would be taken to the police station and rightly so.”

“Everybody in Scotland should have the right to work without fear of harassment,” a Scottish government spokesperson told the Courier.
