I still hold to my original idea.

"question" Is it possible to discover who in my familial background first wore a kilt?"

This opens so many avenues to tie in, it should write itself, and when you are done, you will have learned something, not just done a paper. I hold three degrees and I know what I am talking about.

Areas of tie-in: Kilt, Geneology, History, Fashion, Conflict, Familial divergence, Imigration, etc etc.

Remember, we are still only talking 12 pages!
