I must say I feel more English now I'm not there, more aware of it anyway.it's just something you take for granted, when you are there.I am reminded of being different on a regular baisis, not in a bad way. maybe they are embarrassed to wear a kilt in Scotland just like I would not wear a cloth cap and old boots,in England, I would rather wear something modern.
I think most Scots see the kilt as a costume, only to be worn to a wedding.I know a few scots, like I posted in another post,I was the only one kilted at the celtic club.
now don't take my next comment to heart, or as an insult, but let's take the Americans for example,they get more upset about things said against the scots than a real scot would. a real scot being a person that is born in Scotland, and not a person who traces his family back to scotland 200 years ago.
now, reply if you must to my last comment, but I bet it will only serve to prove my point.
like I said no insult intended.
(I sit here with fingers crossed,I hope I don't get my self into more $h!t, and p!$$ someone else off)
peace
