    We have been through all this on so many occasions that the circle closes then opens back on itself, then closes again.
    Can we agree on a couple of things?
    That the kilt is the national dress of Scotland.
    That there is no nationality of Scot/Whatever, African/Whatever, Irish/Whatever (If you have dual citizenship then perhaps you can be Whatever/whatever)
    That, if you are invited to an event where you are required to wear your national dress that you would wear the dress of the country of which you are a citizen.
    That there is a difference between being the national of a country to having a cultural connection to that country
    I think every person in the world can hypenate the cultural heritage of themeselves if the cared to.

    No-one has ever stated that you cannot wear a kilt if you want to. Why do so many seem to feel that they have to prove "their right to " when asked.
    The original OP asked the opinion of those in Scotland their opinion on a subject. Then tons of posters felt that they had to prove their right to wear a kilt or celebrate their Scottish heritage. Again, no-one says they cant wear a kilt or celebrate their heritage.
    Some don't understand why they want to, Ok, I don't understand why other nationalities do certain things, so I ask, sometimes I understand, sometimes I don't
