    Thank you for all comments so far - My apologies for throwing this up on the message board, but I just had to get it out.

    But still - as a Dutchmen (with probably Scottish ancestry (still finding the exact clan/region)) I can wear a kilt without problems yeah? :S
    Most men, they'll tell you a story straight through. It won't be complicated, but it won't be interesting either. - Edward Bloom (Big Fish)

    Of course you can wear a kilt without problems. I am English and have not tried to find any Scottish ancestry. I wore a kilt in a pipe band many many years ago. Scotland and some wonderful Scots have touched my life over the years which makes me proud to wear a kilt, but I wear it because I like it and my Scottish friends don't mind.

    Your father wanted you to go with him to the bank function. I think he may have felt that he would feel embarrassed in front of his friends if you wore your kilt, because they don't understand. I think you need to discuss this with him because you do not want to embarrass him. And if this is the case you need to point out that the best way to put things right is not to insult you but to discuss the problem.
