McWage and cajunscot, I salute you both. I've really enjoyed this thread and share your deep appreciation of history ... we really are closer than I thought. It's a cool thing, though, that we are not shackled to the past, that we are free to enjoy things that our ancestors were not. That the kilt is something that we now all have in common speaks well of the kilt itself, it's comfort and durability and practicallity.

Despite disagreements here at this forum, our love of kilting has a way of keeping us all as one ... Scots, Irish, Scots-Irish, or not even Scot at all, may the brotherhood of the kilted continue to grow. May those things that we have in common become more and more evident to us all.

All the Best and Kilt On!
