I can certainly remember my aunt coming over to visit the UK in 1976 from Barrington Passage in Nova Scotia and bringing with her Nova Scotia tartan... I can also remember mentions of jacket conversions being semi normal, especially for PC's...

I dont think the Kilt is just Scottish anymore...
I had to chuckle at this, especially when I remembered Billy Connelly in his first episode of Journey to the Edge of the World series. He was visiting a highland games in Fredricton, NB and saw all the kilties and pipe band members and dancers, all in kilts and other Scottish attire. He commented on how they were all 'pretending' to be Scots. They may have been all Canadians, but most of them can boast to unbroken generations of Scottish blood from the moment their families landed in the Maritime provinces!
