from South Wales!

The kilt is a garment that most people associate with Scotland and Scottishness and it's a culture shock for them when they hear accents other than a Scottish one from the wearer or see them worn in countries other than Scotland.

Last week I was on holiday in Tenby and sporting my St Davids Cilt and even though it's the best known Welsh tartan I had a fair share of "och aye the noo" etc. One lady though automatically addressed me in Welsh as I presume she associated a Welsh cilt automatically with being a Welsh speaker.

But wherever it is worn expect more compliments than anything else - I certainly find that to be the case!
