As an educator, I always tell my students to question EVERYTHING! I don't care what anyone says, just because they say they're an authority, and because it's written down. Hog wash! Just because something is in a book, or on a web site, or whatever, does not make it the gospel truth. Maybe, but, again, one needs to question; look at all the facts; and then draw your own conclusion.
One man's view of history can be totally different from another man's, especially if one is on the losing end. Just look at how history in England is taught...from their perspective, as the concurring nation. The Scots and Irish sure don't agree. Ireland sure has a different take on their history as compared to England. But, hey, it's written! Even American history, during WW II, is different from what is taught in Japan. Our view vs. their view.
I don't care what anyone says, the origin of the kilt is still up for grabs. I think we can all agree on the fact that the Scots popularized the kilt, but many factions went into it....Celtic, Norse, etc. Do some fact checking, and then QUESTION. As I stated in my other post, you'll believe what you want to believe.
