    This very much resonates with myself, being from a town of 900 people in isolated rural Appalachia, about which there are so many stereotypes. Yes there are centenarians who have never been more than 20 miles from where they were born, but there are also widely travelled people and highly educated people. My own family were known locally as teachers, generations of people who got university degrees and returned home to raise the local level of education.

    In any case, to piggyback on Peter's photo, here's one I put together showing four current colour-schemes in wide production.

    At a local Games I might see a couple dozen people wearing kilts in House of Edgar's "muted range". (Sorry I couldn't find a "muted" image of the same tartan.)
