Which "ish" ?

[g koch]

Here in Mid-Mich most folks dont think of 'Scottish'. They ask if you're Irish.

Which 'ish' do they think of where you are?

[MacMullen]

Scottish up here in da UP. There were quite a few Irish that settled up here back in the day, so most people seem to know the difference.

Although there are a lot of Scots in the area I live, most people think I'm Irish. This was also the case when I lived in Florida. It seems to most people that the kilt is an Irish thing. When I'm asked, I politely reply that yes, I'm Irish, but the kilt is Scottish, and I also have Scottish heritage.

Oh I get the Irish thing all the time. It surprises me too since North Carolina is supposed to have a heavy Scottish background. I guess it has to do with how our culture is shaped by mass/pop-media. I'm never insulted by it. Anything Celtic is grand!

All I tell about the Irish, Welsh and even Bretons wearing the kilt react surprised.

People usually think of me as foolish.

My county was heavily settled by Scots. They know the difference. There are not a lot of us in kilts, however.

Most ask if I'm Irish, but what can you expect with all the Dutch heritage around here.

Alot ask if I am Irish am then others ask "what Tartan is that?"
I live right down the street from a neighborhood that all the street names a Scottish, there is Caldonia Dr., Thistle Ln., Burns Rd., I think there is a Wallace too and the list goes on and on
So I get is that a skirt, are you Irish, or What clan is that tartan.
