Raphael, it's entirely possible that you have Celtic blood running in your veins.
Now that's a downright fascinating theory! 5,000 year old tartan... what clan was it? 
My own belief, not proven by any scientific method, is that there's way more involved in genetics than we realize. Everything we are is a result of who we came from.
All my life, I've not been able to stand wearing short socks. If I'm going to wear socks, I like them to come up over my calves. It just don't feel right wearing short socks. So when I got into wearing the kilt, it just felt 'right' to wear kilt hose. It's like I was genetically predisposed to prefer kilt hose over normal socks!
And I've always been most comfortable when it's grey and cloudy and drizzly outside.
Coincidence? I think not! It's my Celtic ancestry!
