My 5th Grade daughter has generously volunteered to have me come to her Elementary School on "Culture Day" next week and talk about our Scottish heritage. I couldn't be more happy & proud of her taking an interest in our ancestry & culture! My daughter wants me to "throw something because its cool", so I plan on giving a quick Highland Games demonstration to the kids, followed by a 5-10 minute talk/presentation about our Scottish Heritage & the Kilt. I spoke to the teacher about it and she specifically wants me to talk about the kilt, because it so uniquely represents Scotland. Of course I'll be wearing my kilt, but most likely with a t-shirt, however, since I'm going to start by "throwing something heavy".

My question for the rabble is: If YOU had to give a short 5-10 minute talk to 5th graders about The Kilt & your Scottish Heritage, what would you talk about? Remember, they need to learn something from the talk, but it also has to be fun & interesting to 10 & 11-year olds.
