i ve posted much before about that topic matthew and i can nothing but agree completely with u.

those Carintians (carintia, district of autria) are claiming that the kilt as well as tartan has its origins in austria, from that celts which lived in austria. i ve just read again, that the oldest piece of tartan in europe had been found there.

even if that s true, that does not make the kilt austrish. for me a shameful way of exageration; not totally untypical for that country.
