Philibeg! Philibeg! How COULD you? You know. Of course you know, that the kilt is a garment NOT a "costume". Talk like that can cost lives!


By the way, not all Scots speak with a Scottish accent, even in Scotland. Obviously the majority does but there are many who do not. It is generally a matter of how they were brought up and educated. Quite a few of my 100% Scottish friends sound as if they come from Southern England - as do some of their parents.
