I´m a non-scot, although there are some drops of scottish blood in my ancestory (Morrison). I was born in Germany and so I am german. Nevertheless I´m interested in scottish history and culture. But wearing the kilt isn´t just showing sympathy for Scotland, but it´s a certain feeling. To me it expresses: "Look-´I love wearing the kilt. I don´t have to give any reasons for it to anybody. Accept it or leave it." It´s an expression of selfconsciousness that came with the years. I´m 44 now. It took some time to get that self-awareness, but better late than never.
It was this forum that gave me the last encouragement to get kilted.
Thanks xmarksthescot !
