    No worries, Jock.....carry on!

    A question for you....If someone in, say Nevada in the USA, or perhaps in Argentina wears a kilt, and by this I mean a tartan kilt of at least more-or-less traditional form and construction, is he obligated in some moral/ethical manner to observe long-standing Scottish tradition on what's worn with the kilt? Please note that I'm not asking if it would be "smart" or "wise" of him to be acquainted with these traditions, but whether he has an ethical obligation to know and hew to these traditions.

    (the notion of "long-standing" being a tough one to pin down, but let's say "long-standing" means through the current wearers parents generation. This means that if Pablo in Argentina wears a kilt, does he have an ethical duty to observe the kilt-wearing traditions current during his grandfathers and/or fathers generation? ..)

    The corollary would be, of course, if someone in Scotland chose to wear, say, traditional Indian garments, or Japanese clothing, would they have a moral obligation to understand and adhere to traditional conventions on how they are worn.
