Wearing a tartan if not Celtic heritage

[JRB]

I have no Celtic heritage (I'm German) and haven't had any problems with people saying I shouldn't wear a certain tartan. That said, I do wear Black Stewart, Black Watch, Pride of Scotland, Flower of Scotland, Irish Saffron and Buchanan.

That may sound off.. but if you wanted to show your German pride, why not wear something German? Why a Scottish kilt.

I'm still a big fan of Rocky's American Heritage at USA Kilts.

Well to show my Scottish pride I like to wear my Scottish Heritage Lederhosen.

It is odd in a way...German Heritage tartan, Welsh Heritage tartan, Irish Heritage tartan, Cornish Heritage tartan, American Heritage tartan... instead of all of the above wearing their own traditional garb.

One of the coolest things I've seen in this regard is The Kilt Of The Rising Sun I saw a Japanese-American guy wearing at a Highland Games. He took a Japanese flag to a kiltmaker and the rest is history. (There's a big red circle where your sporran would go, the rest being white.)
