Hmmm, I work in Glasgow and this is news to me. The Glasgow Jewish Association and Jewish lads association have been wearing No.1 (Black Watch) tartan since before WW1.

Others do wear the Royal Stewart, I remember the Glasgow Jewish Lads boxing club members wearing Royal Stewart shorts and gowns. Some were members of the College of Piping in Otago St, and wore Royal Stewart kilts. One was quite well known in the boxing world, Vic Herman, and used to pipe himself into the ring. Vic was a very accomplished artist too.
They were tremendously proud of being both Scottish and Jewish. I really do love the sense of humour too, it manages to somehow get the best of both Scottish and Jewish dry observant wisecracking blended very well. There used to be a good one going around Glasgow about Robert Downey Jr, who is of Scottish-Jewish extraction. I'd be interested in seeing the other threads, if you could provide links, please.
