Whether it's an urban myth, I'm not sure either. The times when I have heard it brought up are in pubs and when I've been watching Scotland play international football matches. As regards the latter, some folks get away with it as they say that, for the day, they're in the Tartan Army!

I've never seen matters come to blows, but I have seen a few heated arguments. Maybe I'll write to the Scottish military to find out the sense and sensibilities of it all.

Bruce,

I would suggest consulting with the Scottish Military Historical Society, or the aforementioned Stuart Reid.

I haven't seen any reliable documentation to support the claim, so for me, myth is a correct word to use.
