Interesting email from an Irish fellow about Irish kilts.

[Deil the Yin]

Could we say that the Irish are using the Scottish kilt to represent themselves??

If you consider that the original "Scots" came from Ulster (a mere twelve miles across the Irish Sea to Kintyre), it's not such a stretch is it?

footnote: see Kingdom of Dalriada, also Argyll, ie Coast of the Gaels (disclaimer for spelling, sorry).
