1. I agree with Rathdown. They're putting it in historical setting. Just because the castle is in Ireland doesn't mean they have to rewrite the history of the castle to make it more pleasant.

2. Kilts were invented in Scotland. Irish "plaids" were invented in Scotland. But that doesn't mean we can't adopt a kilt to wear for Irish events. I personally wear a saffron kilt for Irish events. It's been said before many times on these forums--know what you're wearing!!!
