Interest in kilts/Scottish things, should benefit Scotland, and UK

[Michael Weatherhead]

It may be a stretch. But it seems to me, that the more worldwide interest that is generated, in kilts, tartans, and in Scotland in general, Scotland, and its people should benefit from it. Many Americans have an interest in these things, for various reasons. One chief reason is that their ancestors are from Scotland. So the more we help make others aware of Scotland, kilts, etc etc, I would think that the country of Scotland would stand to gain, ie, more tourists, more money spent, help boost their economy. An I enjoy clay target shooting. My wife, daughters, and I shoot several times a year, and always invite their friends, and ours to join us. I once read an magazine article, that encouraged us to pass this hobby down to our families, and to invite others to try it. Otherwise, how do we expect the sport to carry on? I think the same could be said, about kilts, Scottish heritage, etc. We should freely share our interest with others. Not hide it , nor make it an exclusive club, that only certain people can join. Is this making sense? Or is it crazy talk? I love sharing things that interest me, with others.
