I very much agree with you, Blu. From time to time fashion industry “dictates” kilts (kilted skirts) and tartans for women. Then, besides Royal Stewart and Black Watch you very often see tartans like Dress Gordon, Buchanan, McLeod, Lindsay, MacDonald and MacKenzie. Nobody seems to care and no one expects all these women to be of Scottish origin.
That’s a good thing for men who - like me – have no Scottish roots. If women can wear tartans they like I can do the same and that’s what I do.
