I found several items curious; especially, when compared to the previous survey.



I have always viewed the Glengarry as a military bonnet (for right or wrong) and have chosen not to wear one. Compared to the previous survey it seems that the younger generations are more open to wearing the glengarry. Speaking as a member of the younger generation perhaps I should lighten up a bit.

On questions 9, 10 and 15; it would appear the younger generation considers the kilt “theirs”. I have seen this issue being a matter of some lengthy (and polite!*) debates and discussions on this board.

My take away from all this is that I will continue to wear my kilt with pride. I am proud of my Scottish and American heritage and will embrace both. However if I travel to Scotland the kilt will stay off. When in Rome. I would not discourage any other fellow members of the diaspora to do the same. My opinion is mine alone.

Thanks again for this contribution. The survey was very enlightening.

*I was always told polite conversations on the internet were a myth.
Actually the "Head wear" question posed was about "appropriate head wear". Had they been asked what they actually wear on their head, the answer would probably have been: "nothing"!
