I understand your dilemma. I'm English born. The only Scottish blood in my family is the dried stuff on the ancestral sword*! Take pride in the fact that the modern kilt as we know it was designed by an Englishman. Let the Scots have their moment of pride and let them drink their single malt. When they pass out we can draw mustaches on them and have yet another laugh at their expense. I have no family tartan although by virtue of citizenship, I now have my selection of wonderful Canadian district tartans. We have every right to wear our kilts and you'll not find a single person on this forum that says you can't. Unfortunately we will occasionally find narrow mindedness out there but they usually wouldn't care if we had Scottish blood or not.




* I've been dying to use this one. Thanks for the opportunity.
