Two Telling comments? The Answer Perhaps?

Totally agree with the last few posts, but one part of Nathan's comment ("Some even mock the traditional culture as backward.") especially struck me. Let us ( and Scots) not forget that many once considered all of Highland culture, not "just" the kilt, as "backwards" & "barbaric". One would hope that at this stage that more people would abandon such notions, that any culture is somehow less, and that those who choose to wear the kilt are not necessarily doing so to attract attention, but for a myriad of reasons, one often being for comfort, another as a connection to ones past. IMHO these are not "Birgadoonary", eccentric, nor foolish. A wise man once said:" if you don't learn the lessons of history, you are doomed to repeat them."
