I am about 1% Scottish so I really have no basis to wear a kilt. However, I wear them all the time. I find it very funny the only times I hear people say "you have to be Scottish or Irish to wear a kilt." they themselves are not Scottish or Irish. Last time I heard that I was on campus at kennesaw state university and a frat boy said it under his breath behind me in line at the lunch counter. First off how could he have know if I was Scottish or not? I was just standing there. So that proved to me he was an idiot. I turned around he was wearing a University of Georgia hat. So I asked him "Do you go to the University of Georgia? Because I think you should only be allowed to wear a UGA hat if you go there." I waited for a response he just looked at me with his mouth open so I just waited in line he never said another word.

I do make sure to learn as much about a clan tartan I wear before I wear it. So if someone asks I can be informed and tell them about the clan this tartan represents. If I am wearing it to a Highland games or something where a lot of traditional scots will be I tend to wear a universal tartan.
