    Moved from Kilt Board Newbie to Off Topic.

    Before this one heads off in the wrong direction (and why would I ever think that??), we also need to bear in mind those who proudly wear the kilt that really don't care to learn about Scotland's people, history and culture. Simply stated, understanding the Scots is not a prerequisite to wearing a kilt with pride.

    They are those that wear the kilt to tie in with heritage just as many that wear it simply for the look ,feel or liking of it.With that said people need to understand and realize many people see the kilt and automatically think Scotland.The thing I like about xmarks is I can read a thread or not just like I can leave a post or not .I dont remember the post saying you had to be a scot to wear the kilt and be proud anywhere in it.I thought it was about the language of the Scots and the variations of that language over time and area.I really do not see how it could offend anyone.
