The Kilt's use in Irish Nationalism

[Blackrose87]

I'll tip-toe very carefully in my response, but I can't say I've seen much evidence of the Loyalist community in Ulster wearing kilts (save the Northern Irish regiment's pipers) before the Second World War.

I can't say I know too much about it really, but my Grandfather still carries on some Ulster-Scots cultures, including speaking fluent scots and singing Gaelic. However, I'm positive he has never worn a kilt in his life. I know two of his brothers were in the OO but I've never met them, so I don't know if any of the rest of the family wore kilts, even if just for parades or lodge meetings

The majority of that side of the family disowned my father after he married my mother and moved to Derry, so unfortunately I am quite ignorant of their culture and history.
