i am just rereading some comments, and wow am very shocked at some snobby comments,...as for that i will not stay in this group any more as it does seem anti american even tho do have scottish lineage( which isnt good enough)...didnt realize there was a law. USA is made up a different cultures weather its german irish or whatever... so from what i gather for being a american with scottish roots dosnt allow me to wear a kilt, and that is what some of you are exactly saying....guess unless you live in america you woudlnt understand as american- italains , american - irish always have that sense of pride from where their family came from..... i dont wear a kilt to pretend to be anything. my mom happens to be a murray which i think justifies me to wear the kilt. and as my dad is mohawk indian well thats another pride i have. i dont get upset when people wear native american jewelery or what have you. i am honored that they chose to wear such an item or have knowledge about something that is of my people. maybe you guys who have such strict opinions and they are yer opinions need to get off the high horses...after all this is my opinion.... and yes i think the tartan is more suited for such an event.....
