I would guess that they are the greater consumers of Scots clothing. There is probably much more kilt wearing at football matches and other Tartan Army events than to weddings, funerals and formal events, I would think.
The Tartan Army are hardly dressed in Traditional kilts,the majority anyway, so we in this shinty playing part of Scotland have a wry smile,raise an eyebrow at them and let them get on with it! In truth, I for one, would prefer the traditional kilt to be worn at these footballing events, but I can see full well that a "cheapo kilt" is a far more sensible option for what the football crowds need.
