As the proud desecendant of Western Mudsills who fought for the Union, I wouldn't wear it, but I would besmirch those who do.

In my reenacting experience, its fairly common to see Glengarries worn around, but generally speaking you don't see organized Scots units or kilts. Or pipes. Which is a shame really.

Hope you meant "wouldn't" besmirch those who do.

Otherwise I and my Ramsay ancestors from Tennessee will have to be a wee bit offended.
