Interesting email from an Irish fellow about Irish kilts.

And the unified culture you mention... I don't think that ever exsisted, not according to all I have read.

Depends how far back you go. The celtic culture came from mainland Europe. At that point it was more unified than it is now. If you are trying to say that the insular celts were not unified, you would be right in that there were and are both Brythonic and Goidelic celts in the British isles, but that doesn't help your argument much, because the Irish and the Scots were both Goidelic.
