No offence, but just to let you know.
Second, he is actually right. Look into the history of kilt wearing.
The kilt was a highland item of clothing. No one below the Trossaches used to wear them.
Indeed, you can even find journal notes from Glaswegians in the 1700's mentioning the outlandish wearing of kilts by the highland men.
That said, it is now seen by most Scots as a Scottish item of clothing and it is certainly accessible to all.
I'm born and bred Glaswegian but I wear a kilt every day without fail.
My family are from the Highlands but stopped wearing kilts regularly when they moved to Perthshire two generations ago.
When you look in the yellow pages or at the catalog of a kiltmaker, you will find it says 'Highlandwear specialist.' Not Scottishwear.
