Census poll: What is your cultural / historical connection to the kilt?

[CameronCat]

The trend is already developing; no surprise I think that many or most will show a direct family link. My father was from Aberdeenshire.

It might be interesting to run a second poll to see at what level we claim our heritage and to track the Scots diaspora. For instance, "My direct family link is:" parent - grandparent - G/grandparent - GG/grandparent, etc. born in or citizen of Scotland.

I'll bet there are some very interesting stories here. X-man's (above) is certainly one of them. [edit: as are the later ones which appeared while I was writing.]
