What tartan to wear? Whose tartan is it? What's the significance?
It's all historical and cultural. The Court at Lyon has already compiled the facts, and anyone can publish it. There doesn't need to be a final authority. It's in the history books.
This all comes down to one simple notion. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. We've talked at length about the traditions and culture. We've talked about "know your tartan". Sure... you can wear whatever you want. Some just choose to take the kilt beyond the point of it being a garment, and adhere some traditional heritage behind the thing. No "right" or "wrong"... rather an acceptance or rejection of the heritage.
Apparently, the Scots want to ensure that those who desire to KEEP the heritage and traditions have a source of information. With all the "wear what you want" talk going around, is it any wonder that they want to get this done? As a Celt, I applaude them for the initiative and will do whatever I can to support them.
Arise. Kill. Eat.
