Two Telling comments? The Answer Perhaps?

We're a world away in Scotland, Nathan, and we've actually developed our own diasporic culture. What do you think of the million or so Scots who refuse to wear a kilt, either properly or improperly? Have they failed altogether?

HSHP The original thread was about wearing the kilt properly in Scotland. No matter what your protestations, none of the photos you have posted are proper examples of Highland wear. Go ahead and wear the outfit you want in your country, but don't insist it's proper Highland attire. If you want to see examples of that, please go look at the examples Nathan suggested, also take a look at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread started by Panache who lives in California.
