Nuff said.
Does this mean that you are basing your argument on the writings of an American author whose family left British soil nearly 200 years ago?

Personally I don't care who invented the kilt. You could say the idea may have been stolen from the vikings. I have Scottish ancestory and am proud that the kilt is associated with Scotland. However as someone else pointed out, none of us were there. Suprisingly today's "scholars" weren't there either.

No writings should ever be considered unbiased, and their word should never be considered as gold.
