If the kilt is worn "properly" and with dignity and is a celebration of Scottish heritage or even just out of respect then I cannot see a problem even although it is deemed to be our National Dress.
I for one would not ask a member of the Gurkha Regiment to stop wearing the tartan trews or disband their pipe band because they are not Scottish or even of Scottish descent. (I once danced the Highland Fling at a New Years celebration in London with a Gurkha piper playing) I also just reviewed the 2009 Edinburgh Military Tattoo when the Jordanian Army pipe band were on parade wearing their own distinctive uniforms. Even 42 Commando of HM Royal Marines has a pipe band and used to wear the kilt with special permission and one of the RM depots has its own tartan designed by an RM Colonel. This is done either because ....... You fill in the blanks !!!!!!
