David, I know that the issue has come up in other threads about the Black Watch and the Irish. That whole debate is put aside when the "military" issue is brought out.

Since I'm in groups that are DEEP into the traditions and customs, I can't even think about the Black Watch, Royal Stewart, or Saffron kilts.

Until about a month ago, I didn't know that it was VERY insuluting to the Scots for a non-Wallace to wear that tartan.

I guess this is when it pays-off to live in areas where tartans are no more than "nice colors".
