The Kilt's use in Irish Nationalism

[Blackrose87]

I'm sure there are many Americans or Canadians who would be confused by traditions in Ireland or Scotland if they were examined up close, for instance, Celtic vs Rangers football matches held in Glasgow.

I always felt that the Scottish and Irish diaspora have their own culture and traditions, which may have some roots in the original countries their ancestors may have come from.
But in my experience, a lot of them have little interest in the actual customs of modern day Scotland or Ireland. Many would prefer to hold on to their own idea of the culture, whether right or wrong. And fair play to them, a lot of ther families have been living somewhere else for entries now, so it is only natural tat they have developed their own traditions and distanced themselves from the natives of Scotland and Ireland.
