i find it flattering that so many folk from other countries have such a fondness for my wee home country
i know alot of members on here have ancestors from the celtic lands but then so do i ..ive a fair few ancestors from Ireland ( and plenty from Scotland)but other than gathering data about them and when they lived ..there isn't much else i do about it ...traditional attire and there customs they had are a different world from me one of my great great great granddads might be from Ennis in southern Ireland but Ive never had the urge to "be Irish "( i just leave that to the misses) but then another my great great grandfathers came from thurso doesn't mean i embrace everything to do with the Gaels
with my view on the clothing aspects of the celtic side of things again i find it flattering that folk like all things celtic and like to dress in period clothes and so on but then i have no issue with that i find it humbling in some way that people from all over the world like to wear kilts at the end of the day folk can wear what they want,
id imagine some folk see my dress sense( my avatar image for example) as somewhat "theatrical to a extent" 30 -40 years the clothing i wear would be deemed as normal every day items now its 2009 they prob think I'm off to a 60s theme fancy dress these days

the old saying goes "wear what you want and be dammed what others think"
