Yes, ALL USA Holidays, official and not, have a political or religious origin -- the relative merits of which are best not discussed here.
Story: For many years in the Commonwealth (State) of Pennsylvania, Flag Day (June 14) was a (State) Official Holiday. Then one year it was no longer “official”. My oldest daughter was born on June 14 and as a young child she thought that the holiday was in honor of her birthday. She was not pleased when the Official Holiday status was revoked.
I can’t think of a kilted connection to Columbus Day.
