Irish Kilt?

[MacSpadger]

I do recall a response to a post about wearing kilts in Ireland that some Irish perceived the kilt as a sign of English repression and in particular the the tartan of the Black Watch as that regiment served in Ireland during The Troubles. How widespread a sentiment is it? I couldn't say.

Having been there, maybe I could.
I could also comment on "the kilt as a sign of English repression", but will haud mah wheesht.
However, keeping within forum rules, I will merely clarify that the Black Watch, Gordon Highlanders, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Royal Scots, Scots Guards, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Queen's Own Highlanders are all regiments that saw service in Northern Ireland. It wasn't just the Black Watch.
