Scottish Patriotism

[KiltedSergeant]

One reason for Not wearing the kilt is it's not Scots, it's the clothing of the Gaelic Speaking people Who live in Scotland. for many centuries the Gàidhlig people were regarded by the Scots almost as as savages in the wilds of the Highlands. There are many who will never wear a kilt in Scotland even for a wedding. My sisters Husbands from central Scotland in Central Scotland didn't wear a kilt for their weddings, but my gaelic speaking brother brought up in the highlands did... in England..

Very interesting and accurate point. My sons and I wear the kilt to celebrate, and perpetuate, our Scottish heritage- the kilt, because it's an iconic symbol of Scotland. My ancestors were lowlanders from Dumfriesshire, and I'm quite sure never wore the kilt, and in fact may likely have held it in disdain. But, it is worn by many of Scottish ancestry simply because it is that iconic symbol. Oh, and also because it's bonnie comfortable in a cool breeze!
