Hello from the Pacific Northwest
My heritage is Campbell, I think Campbell of Cawdor. My ancestor, John Gibson, circa 1650, had owned a fair bit of land that is now called Connecticut. I grew up in Georgia, USA, where the flag of St. Andrew's Cross is still frequently seen.
My (border clan) sweetheart and I have attended many Scottish cultural events. Now, I have convinced him to wear the kilt.
It is my heart's desire to knit some diced kilt hose for him. The directions I have found are strictly one size (does not) fit all. My beau has a 16" calf (muscular), so I'm afraid I'll have to get busy with some graph paper.
Am I the first to fail the entry question? "Some kilts are made of a plaid fabric, what is it called?" My answer was "wool", and was rejected as wrong. Hmmmm. Growing up, I was taught that a plaid is an article of clothing that is draped about or pinned to the shoulder. Plaid fabric is therefore, wool. When I re-answered "tartan", my registration was accepted.

Welcome from a Whidbey Islander currently residing in the middle of nowhere.
The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.

from South Wales UK! 
I don't know if you are the first to fail but wool is a fabric rather than a plaid until it's dyed and woven.
